I'm in the market to get new rotors. I've come across some black rotors and am curious if anybody have these and what their opinions are. Please post pics if you have these on your car.
Thanks!

 

i just ordered a set of black ebc rotors, supposedly the black wears off the surface pretty quickly but stays in the slots and drill holes. ebc is quality stuff so im sure they are worth it. if anything, it will resist rusting.

 

Hmm, thats a bit of a let down. I'm sort of picky when it comes to the rotor bc it will be behind an all black rim. I'm trying to stay away from the bright silver finish (if that makes sense lol) and I was hoping the black rotor may be the answer I was looking for

 

find a ceramic rotor. like the zr1 it is a dark grey

 

Carbon fiber and very expensive.

 

r1 concepts makes rotors that they paint black, the black does come off where the pad makes contact though. Might look pretty cool with slotted rotors? I had them on my last car, don't know if they make them for our cars however.

 

carbon ceramic , otherwise tough **** with the silver showing . no real was to not have it like that other than not driving it .

 

Retail on a ZR1 rotor is around $1700ea for the front

 

I guess you could do a black iron anodize on a "show set".
Liable to be inferior for stopping power, I think.

But for me, loud & filthy sends the right message.

 

would anodize affect the friction between the pad and the rotor? i would think some sort of coating would affect how the brakes perform...i could be wrong though

 

Not worth it imo...just learn to love the ones you got

 

As a designer, I feel your pain. Unfortunately they don't "make metal in different colors"

 

I was looking on ebay at rotors for my 06 gto and saw black hart has a set front and rear drilled and slotted black rotors with ceramic pads on holiday sale for $269 anyone heard of these and r they decent quality?

 

My EBC rotors have lasted exceptionally long, but yeah, that black coat wore off pretty quick. This is a pic after three years of use (rear axle)




Stoptech rotors, just after install (fronts, last spring)

 

Old *** thread, and dumb. "I dont want my rotors silver"

 

Says who???

 

well if you look around some of the corvette websites there is one that sell color anodized rotors for vettes but with a kit can fit our cars. they come in multiple colors and are pretty badass just don't know how good they hold the color*

 

Well they wont hold the color thats the whole point.

 

maybe not where the pad and rotor make contact but the rest I will bet holds its color,, its not paint*

 

True, but thats not a lot of the visual area.
