dot 4 thats synthetic. need to get all the old stuff out first. take a turky baster and suck your resuvoir dry then fill it up with new stuff and then bleed your brakes till you see that the new fluid is comming through from the farthest wheel first to the closest last.

Naw i mean i have heard a bit of a noise, but its usually when i break and can hear the pad hitting the rotor. But its not loud at all, or anything alarming? I just drive it the way i usually do? I haven't been babying mine, or ragging it out either? Just normal stop and go traffic. Maybe take the wheels off and take a closer look?
saw this on the tire rack.
NOTE: Sport disc brake rotors will produce some additional noise. It's not uncommon to hear a whirring noise as the brake pads rub over the dimples, drill holes and grooves while driving. While some noise will remain, its level will become less noticeable as the rotors and pads break in.

for now i have no choice but just to get OEM replacment, i didn't want for my brakes to give out on me sumplace on the road, don't wanna risk it.
it didnt surprise me that much that the pads were gone, but the cracks on the rotors show that it was a poor design and poor quality of the material, they only lasted lil more than 4 months........

yeah just keep an eye on them, i did use mine real hard, mostly cuz of autoX, but also sumtimes on the streets to, the pads and rotors i had were made for track use and not daily driving, so i wasn't that much surprised about the pads..., and my rotors did get real hot, my friends told me sumtimes at nite (after bit of hard breakin) they could see them glow.., but none the less i was happy with them, they breaked real good
