Whats Up People? I know it has been awhile. I was in Thailand for 64 days didnt bring anything back but a New Tattoo (My sons Kanji on my chest over my heart), then came home and picked the family up in Hiroshima for a few days of Leave. I am now back in Okinawa and it is good to be home. Car started fine, only problem is when I went to drive off, the rear brake pads were stuck to the rotors from all the rain and sitting so long. I tried to "drive" them clean but it didnt work. So I needed new brake rotors and pads for the rear so I decided it would be a good time to upgrade. I got the Dixcel Advanced Brake Technology Slotted Rotors and Project U D1 Spec pads. Anyway here is a pic I just took of the new stuff, I will throw up a few pics during the install as usual, no writeup though since it is easy stuff...oh yeah coming up is a Defi 3 Guage Din Pod and Tomei 256 Cams install.

Thanks Guys... The rotors were 150 bucks for the set. The pads were 50 bucks...The fronts were fine. The cause was I left the Ebrake on the whole 64 days...thats what caused the pads sticking to the rotors...I will do the fronts in a month or so, this way I have matching shit.....Yeah I may be at the Salon this year bro...

Well did the install this morning. You can see in this pic how bad the rotor was, big @ss chunk of pad still stuck to hit, only about half the surface was being used. Both sides of the right rear rotor were like this:

Here is a pic of the pad, you can see the chunk that broke off:
