Or it may be fine im not a tuner lol. Still I wouldn't lean on it to hard until you get the tune re done. Seriously but how awesome are skids at speed! I remember sitting on the brake and sh*t in my dirty old 5l commo's, pffff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found 780rpm and around 820 in drive minimises the vibration.Every car will be different but I would start around there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a massive improvement NVH wise. but Idle speed is critical to reducing the vibration.They are worth the slight increase in NVH for the improvements in handling they provide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2 rotors should be good upgrades for street driving. T3 are the real performance versions but cost more.
