Only took me about an hour, and it's about 40-50 degrees here I just want to find a grass field now so it's not so messy.

I think I see what you're looking at, I don't think that's a crack, just looks like a line or somthing. I'll check it out tho just incase, thanks for the good eye

I went back outside and looked at what you pointed up. I'll maybe take another picture of it so people can look at it but for the most part I don't think its a crack because it's smooth. There's another line on the rotor aswell, together it looks as if they form the shape of the brake pad. They are smooth when you run your finger over them, perhaps its from pulling the e-brake?

There's always a place, you just gotta find it. I thought there wern't any here untill I found this place. I'm looking for a more grass area now tho due to the mess this creates, but damn its fun While I was sliding around, I could tell this is what the car was exactly made for. I had 100% control of the car in all situations, damn I love this car.

Alot of the time you cant feel it when the rotor has cracks, easy way to tell is when you hit the brakes is there vibration or does it shudder.

At high speeds yes, but that's probally due to the low pads and possibly warped rotors. I've felt it many times and its smooth as can be so I don't think its cracked.

Yeah take it easy on it, clean the air filter if you can, with the HKS unit you can just clean it with pure water and let it dry. Too bad you live too far or else it would be tight if we can go on a ralli cruise with TWO BLACK EVOS!! hahaaha
