He put on new ceramic pads and painted the calipers black.

An, you're correct... new rotors can be a nice brake mod. Personally, I would go with new steel braided lines if I had a choice, but drilled/slotted isn't too shabby. Again, I would watch the drilled and slotted as oppposed to just slotted.... always watch for warping.

Anyway, no thread crapping... didn't like the badging, but four thumbs up (4?) on a beauty!!!
