the rotors seem to be a bit oily after the installation which i would assume will wash away..

i am planning to paint the calipers in spring which should give it a more cleaner look...

weird looking rotors. I just got my OEM pads in the mail, will need to change within 2-3 months.

i had OEM pads previously, and i seem to note a quicker stopping response from Ate pads than the OEM pads.
