Quick update.....
Got the Platinum Hart kit, installed all the pads & rotors, what I noticed when installing was that the pad retainer clips were a bit dirty and the one on the passenger rear seemed a bit tight, so cleaned each good as I went along also put a dab of CRC brake lube on each of the retainer clip guide points, not too much just enough to make it so the pads moved easily.
After the installation I found the brakes made a bit of noise, nothing serious, but after a week or so and with ~150 miles and making sure I broke them in easily, seems to have settled in nicely, no noise, vibration, or any other issues. Still have to get my wife to assist me with bleeding the brakes (you know OLD SCHOOL, PUMP 'EM UP, HOLD 'EM while I am under each wheel!).
Overall for $218 shipped, seems to be a good kit! I was spending more for the Advance Auto rotors and pads and not really any better performance...
