Was CP busy? I'm debating if I should go during the week now or wait until Sept when kids are back in school.

Small world. We did not go today. My whife is kind of scared of it. So we only got here at about 4-5 pm. We will go tomorow. I'll be here for 2 more days. It's our first time here and I like it a lot. We went to a beech today and some guy let me ride his water jet and that was great.

I was thinking that one of my brake lines was broken and I was going to lose fluid but I checked that too and the fluid is all there.

If she's scared, don't take her on Millenium Force or Top Thrill Dragster... Have fun at Cedar Point!

Usually, I have to wait two weeks just for an appointment.
Anyone knows where to get the sensor for the pads?
I will buy the autozone pads and install them myself.
We got back from Cedar Point and the car was fine. It was a lot of fun there and I will deffinetly go back there this summer.

My wife's display just started showing this tonight. Anyone know offhand of an online retailer that provides an OE kit, something along the lines of Brembo blanks and Axxis pads with a sensor? There's a place here in CA that puts a kit together relatively cheap for the Bimmers, www.ajusa.com.

what about crossed-drilled and slotted rotors? less heat/friction = better stopping power

Update
I replaced my brake pads with autozone ones and they are great. While I was at it I painted the callipers red and I love the way it looks. They are not brembo or AMG but they shure look a lot bether than stock.
I have a problem with my parking brake tho. The left rear wheel does not work anymore because the cable sliped out of the housing. I do not know how to get to it since is located behind the rear axle.
Any sugestions are apreciated highly.
thank you all.

Drilled rotors have their place in racing, but outside the high speed of competition, they have little value. They do tend to cause cracks in the plate around the hole. Small cracks upto 1 inch are not a problem, but why risk a brake failure to make a fashion statement?
