Got the rotors off of Ebay. There's a few vendors selling them. The pads are Delco Ceramics

Default Thanks for the complements

Thanks guys. I love the look. I would like to lower it a little more, but you can see the driveway I have to come up. I already scrape now. I also want to get some CCW Classics (black), but have to wait on other priorities.
