Thanks. Nice! Do you have a GD3 or GE8? And did you have a DB7 or DB8?

I didn't hear about it until now. I guess I have to make a trip to Goudy sometime soon. Thanks for the heads up.

Lol! No, I think I had more than that. Shoot... I had 6K after about 3 months of getting her. You know I drive a lot.

The front rotors are officially warped now. I sense new brake upgrades coming soon.

I tend to brake hard. It's a habit from driving my DB8. But I think what really did it was when I went to NorCal. The downhill at the Grapevine really put a lot of stress on the front brakes.

I guess 30K is the magic number when it comes to warped brake rotors.

Which series of the DBA are they? I haven't looked into it yet, but I was hoping they had the 5000 for the Fit, had these on the Teggy and really liked them. Were a bit lighter than stock, but not as much as I had hoped. Still was a 2 piece design which definitely helps in the department you experienced with warpage.

When you installing? Now you need some stainless lines and a MCS and then you can go all out on your braking.
