Opinion on Evolution?

Hello~

I just won a set of rotors and pads from a website and I'd like some opinions.

http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sk...Front+And+Rear

These are what I won. I'd just like to know if anyones used these and if they're decent or not. I've got a 06 MCS currently not a daily driver but we do distance often.

Thanks!

Powerstop products are excellent. Put them on and enjoy them. Or sell them.

While they look good, I've always heard that cross-drilled rotors **could** crack under spirited (track) use. A tend to opt for solid rotors myself.

John~
While I admit to being a speed demon.. I definitely don't track her.
All my previous rotors have been solid. I've always wanted to try other types but never really got around to it.


Going to try them out.
If I don't like them I can always put my current ones back on. They've still got quite a bit of life in them.

Like John said as long as you are not tracking your MINI, they will be great for the street and great eye candy.
