ROCK and roll!!
Thems the ones, baby. My short term memory is just gone!!
Anyone know if they are available from EVO, yet or what the deal is? If they are coming out, then I'm in on a GB. If not, I'll make us all some up. It looks like we have enough interest. I'd need a minimum of 10 sets to make it worth the effort and I do not want crappy materials and design. Actually, the ones I was looking into were cast to get the holes, vs drilling them. That way, there is less tendency to crack at the holes. I was also goig to cryo them for added strength in the long run.
Somebody call EVO and see what the deal is. I don't wanna do it, since I've been an *** to them before and I don't want to screw this up, too.

I have Porterfield pads. I can't answer the second question because I haven't even gotten my car back to see how the pads and rotors feel. I will let you know though. Thanks!

That's a sweet combination. Let us know. Were you pushing it hard enough to get the warning (heat) before? I wonder if the new combo helps with heat as well as modulation.

They don't offend because I am sorry for saying what I did based on a single conversation with an ex-employee. In the mean time, I've learned plenty of car biz and charma lessons, so no need to hate. I'm now one of EVO's fans, although i have not taken the plunge and bought anything of significance from them.

Also, the E63 and E55 both still have the single steel rotor in the rear. The catch is that the rear incorporates the parking brake into the hat portion, so any replacement has to worry about that stress as well. Simple aluminum would get torn up quick. I think the EVO ones has a sleeve made of steel in that are, but I am not for certain.
