Oh yah, i re-bed the pads... to the rotors and still no resolution. Took it to the dealer and they turned the rotors for me under warranty... they were warped like Pringles. lol

Ahh, no... no package deals... but talk to Zspeed and ask for their DBA 5000 rotor deal... $535 is KILLER for this kind of setup.
