To djpathfinder,
Am very sorry about the very late reply as I never got notified you asked a question. As to the question about the Nissan sticker on my calipers it is not a sticker. It is the factory logo came on the caliper when i bought the car new. All I did was tape over the original Nissan Logo which is in white lettering and the factory color of the caliper was that metallic grey behind the white lettering. All I did was tape over the important stuff and used red heat treated caliper spray to paint them red. The sport package break calipers come with the Nissan logo on them, no stickers

As far as those sticky rotors yes mine was also very hard to budge but fury and a rubber mallet busted those mtherfckers off after beating them. Also a couple leg kicks too. Make sure when doing the rear the e-brake is all the way down.

I have enough miles now on those stoptech rotors it is time for them to be turned because now when braking i get vibration in wheel which i believe it is just the rotors being warn and are no longer true, BUT I never owned slotted cross drilled rotors before so I don't know if they can even be cut to get them true again? Anybody know if I can have them cut?

Thanks guys.....
