Brake bring fo' dat azz!
Brake bling fo' dat azz! There are mixed opinions if this is a performance upgrade or not, but damn it looks cool so I'll post here.
They are rotorpros rotors, drilled, slotted, zinc coated, and I threw on some Hawk pads. Paint was done with high temp engine enamel, few coats of primer, few coats of gloss black, the decals, and a few coats of clear.
Turned out pretty nice to me. Stops nice too after the new parts got seated. I got some new lines to go on too but didn't get around to them.
Whatcha guys think?

I think it looks great. That plated zinc finish will eventually fade away. I got some Baer Eradispeed rotors and same pads, Some rust is showing over the back rotors and I will painting them soon. Otherwise car stops very good and no dust whatsoever.

Those zinc plating on those rotors is really nice, it keeps the rotor from rusting, and works well. EXCEPT when you spray chrome wheel cleaner on them. Some brands will eat the zinc coating and leave nasty black marks that wont come off. Just giving you my .02 from experience.

i will never get a set of cross drilled "replacement" rotors again, they will eventually start cracking around each drilled hole and will warp out and do all kinds of crazy stuff....unless we're going for HUGE brake kits, i say stay away from the "pretty" cross drilled stuff in the front. The rears dont matter but its well known that with stock blank rotors these cars brake amazingly well AND they last alot longer too (you can cut stock ones if its not bad but its risky as hell to cut cross drilled stuff), jus my .02 tho
