If you have the StreetSport pads, then it takes a lot of stops to really them the layered on the rotor. If it's the Street only pads, they barely need any break-in but don't bit much either. The kits used to ship with the StreetSport pads with the Street only pads as a option. Not sure what they ship with now.

FYI, most shops recommend red or black calipers for tracks.

JuzMe, thats what I thought. I really want Yellow and intend to do some limited track events.

Car looks sick.... love the color combo.

Did you get some grinding noise before the break-in? Just installed mine, it is making some serious grinding noise, I am gonna take the car out for break-in tonight, see if it is gone.

Yeah the silver option would prob be good as well, but yellow just looks so damn good

Sweet! Santorini Blue has always been my favorite! Looks great with the yellow calipers!

Nice car and brakes! Makes me wish I had gotten the yellow caliper, but I did end up with less flashy black which still look cool imo. One other call out as I just installed these last year is the dust shield is much better than the stock brakes. My rims used to get dirty after one quick trip with the factory brakes, now I get a few rides out of them before they look dusty.
