Apparently it was a mistake to use Brembo on the front. I later learned that supposedly they are thinner than ATE or Balo.

Since it was just a street car, I went with the rotors that the most people at the E30 boards I searched said they had used without issues on street cars. People seemed to like ATE. They made my car stop and didn't break.

I am not impressed with the Brembos when they get fairly hot.
