Default New Parts Installed!

Today I finally got my radiator in after being without my baby for two weeks. I had a huge crack in the plastic...has anyone else had this problem? I also installed drilled rotors and ceramic pads (I had zero pad left) and while I was at it I painted my calipers.
I installed a Mishimoto Dual core radiator. I don't really need the extra cooling but it was $150 cheaper than the one from Honda. Let me know what you guys think.

The crack!

The pads and rotors are from Centric Brake parts...I got them off Ebay i love the look of them. They look the most like the spoon style rotors, but I could not afford the spoon ones. I paid the same amount for all 4 rotors and pads as one front spoon rotor costs.

Looks good! Are the brakes coated? Keep us updated on how they perform.

Yes the rotors are Zinc Coated so they wont rust. so far they perform very well. you have to bed them in(a few 50-0 stops) really good before they work really well.

I've been driving around with the new brakes for two days now and they perform great! The best mod I have done so far! No more brake fade and a little better stopping power. Definately worth the $225 I paid for them!
