the back of your brembos? I was changing my oil the other day and noticed how filthy my brembos are.

Discuss.

You bleed your brakes that often? Wow, either you drive your car hella hard, or you have the cleanest brake system ever.

Yea... I haven't bled my brakes for a while. I'll probably do it when I order my pads soon. I'll also probably clean the backs as well. Haven't really looked at em though.

Hey tripp. heres what I have after a week driving them. The intial bite is impressive and improved. Coming to a stop, lightly pushing on the pedal makes a light squeel, goes away when you press harder(20-0mph). I amvery happy with them, as my stockers were always a bit loud. Install was a cinch. I was told to watch my stopping upon install. I didn't think it would be that bad, until the pedal went to the floor on the first stop. After that it was all gravy. The Girodisc "magic" pads are great for the money imho

Sweet! Thanks for the review. I've got Axxis Ultimates and they are great, but have a short life (somewhat) and make ALOT of noise. I'll be ordering the brake pads early this week.

Rob, I'm going to start doing autox soon, but they aren't that anal here lol

I can't wait to feel the difference when I have time to install my stainless steel lines and motul fluid. Even the HPS pads alone made a big difference.
