Hey Chibi, back to the rotors..you said the blank Centrix rotors have been good for you, but in those pictures above it looks like you've got drilled/slotted rotors?! Care to explain?

I now have centrix on the car after those rotors destroyed themselves on the inside and destroyed the inner brake pads.

Wasted money on those eBay rotors

Is that a good explanation of why I'm not recommending what I DID have?

lol they are just 18s... when I do my CSC i'm probably going to look into the GXP brake upgrade so I can run 13" rotors on the front and 12" in the back.

Im gonna need whole new calipers anyway. Atleast for the back. I bought some Chevrolet caliper decals but the rear calipers are pitted and the decals wouldnt go on right and even if they would, it would look like crap!

They are not backwards

Check out this link: How to properly install plain, slotted, or drilled brake rotors

During WOT and under cold starts they are loud air sucking machines.

If they whistle.. it might be a leak of air somewhere, unless it's not exactly a high-pitched whistle like I assume when I read the word whistle.
