    Well, the hope is, when you clam these back together, the machined face and the stock face are perfectly parallel to each other, from top-to-bottom and edge-to-edge.

    I assume he checked the face he milled just the same, top/top, edge/edge to ensure 100% level before milling things. If not, I'd worry you'll have similar issues to FGV.

    Only one way to tell, I guess. Sending good vibes your way.

    Be sure when you order rotors, they are six lug. Rock Auto sent me five lug. No customer service, at all. Pain in the ass.

    Everything installed yesterday. Works perfectly! No mush in the pedal, better feel, more confident. 100% recommend the upgrade.
