Got the front SP Performance (D04-2424) diamond slotted rotors installed this weekend with new pads and very, very nice. It already feels so much better. Gotta break them in for a 100 miles and then I'll do the head to head test against Lisa’s VX. Then I will add the braided lines and see what kind of improvement I get.
Install took about an hour per side and was about like a bearing repack except that the rear bearing stays captured in the hub that is moved over to the new rotor. I took lots of pics and will post a how to soon. With my wheels I can’t see the rotors that well so the slots don’t show that much. I also painted the calipers a dark grey hammer’tone’ finish while I was in there.
