Welp...brakes are in, bled, and started breaking them in. Slotted rotors breaking in on fresh pads is kinda disconcerting at first because the leading edge of the pad and the trailing edge of the slots makes little thumping noises at first. After a bit of slow braking I did some more aggressive braking to start bedding the pads. So far...just driving around town I can say that these brakes feel 100% better than stock. I think it has to do with the actual pedal feel, more than just the improved braking. You can feel your brakes bite through the pedal, before with stock everything it felt kinda numb. I haven't really gotten on them hard and definitely haven't triggered ABS yet, as I've only driven around town a bit.
I will definitely be writing up a review once I push them a bit harder...sucks that i couldn't have this completed before the LM Open house, but i am sure i can make it some other time. I wanted to do the FIR AutoX but I won't be able to compete due to not being able to spend much time there that day, I have to pack my stuff up and get ready to move that weekend. I'll show up to hang out for a bit for sure though!
