Kabel, I reeally really wish that I was that in tune with the car that I could sense a small bit of added un sprung weight. LOL.

Although I was pretty surprised how heavy those new rotors are, I don't have the stock ones to compare to anymore.

It's in your head.

By the way, if you have the chops to jack up the car and take off the wheels, you did about 80% of the work you paid the shop to do. Boxster brakes are by far the easiest I've ever done. Consider doing it yourself next time and banking the difference.

Yeah. I realize that brake pad / rotors are not very hard to DIY, but I wanted to get the stainless steel lines in too. Draining the fluid seemed like a PITA to me. Next time its just pads / rotors I'll do myself.

I guess chalk this up to it all being in my head. I guess its a good thing that I even 'noticed' the addition of a little unsprung weight.

I'm on my way to becoming a 1337 racing driver ! LOL
