Default Brakemotive Black rotors
Anybody out there run these? I know they were a sponsor and I had good luck with their regular zinc plated rotors in the past, so I decided to try these black zinc plated units.

I didn't even know they sold black zinc plated ones. Are these stock size or 14" Front?
I could never find them in black zinc for the 14" front for the brembo's.

Ah ok my eyes are playing tricks on me. They look good, I'd imagine the black zinc will wear off, leaving them silver with black slots and holes but I like the look of them.

Well I don't know about the black zync rotors but they do have them drilled and slotted for the front 14" for 5th Gen Camaro SS for your Brembos. That's what I'm using but I had to do some digging around to actually find them because they're not listed for the vehicle. I found them by their part numbers.

Yes that is what they are suppose to do. I figured black would stay looking nicer longer.

I wanted black blanks too but could only find them in drilled, dimpled, slotted, or drilled and slotted. Yes Brakemotive is a ebay seller. They are a sponsor here or use to be. I have had great luck with their products in the past and great prices. I paid just under 200.00 for all 4 rotors with power stop z17 ceramic pads. If I auto crossed the car I would of probably went with Bear or CTSV upgrade.



Fyi WS6 store does not carry Brakemotive. They do carry similar rotors from a different company.

I think they look really good after the black zinc wore off and is still black zinc plated in the slots and holes. I'm wishing I would have got these 14" in front and stock back in the black zinc. Gives better appearance and brake dust won't show as much in the slots or holes.

Just buy the slotted rotors, I think they have only 6 slots.
