Im starting to get into AutoX so i was wanting some better rotors (drilled, slotted, jhook) something. Well searched ebay to see what was out here and come across this combination:

As soon as I pulled out of garage i could hear a slight rubbing sound.
I pulled over and checked everything. Everything looked good. There was Brake dust on the rotors and the brakes were touching the rotors. After a few miles of driving the pads wore down and were fine. I did some slow stops to brake the pads and rotors in so that there werent any dips in the rotors. So far, 4 days later stopping is great, same as stock if not better.

No issues what so ever.

Great seller and great product.

Would gladly buy from again.
