don't be cheap, go GMPP. Or if you go cheap, get them cryoed first. I did mine and they work great.

And post them damn vids bro!

My StopTech rotors just arrived. Very nice! Working surface has an excellent machined finish on it along with slots bleed braking gases and keep the pads fresh. All non-working surfaces are coated to avoid rust. Paid $350 for a full set of 4 shipped. I'll post a pic later tonight when I get home as they are not on the car yet.

I will warn you...either they don't make that many or the demand is high...I waited about 5 weeks to get them from the time I ordered...I wasn't in a hurry so I didn't mind.

Oh yeah, I'll be running them with Hawk HPS Street pads...

they cost half of yours because you got GMPP rotors...and good thing you got them cryoed because they rust like the stockers, if you dont.

Powerslot and Stoptech would be my choice anyday of the week over the GMPP rotors.

Cryo doesn't affect rust, it makes them stronger and more durable, so they wear less and will not warp. My car stops much harder than any other setup I've seen.

Stonny, those are what Chris bought. If you get them, get better pads or something. They come with generic garbage. Even the rotors are junk, but whatever.

Yeah, the coating is solid. The pads are the only thing I'd be really worried about, but I think I might crack the rotors the way I drive. I don't like drilled rotors that aren't chamfered.

Chamfered is where it has no sharp edges. Regular countersink makes it at a 45 degree angle, with sharp edges on the top and bottom edges of that angle. The chamfer is smoothly rounded, so it has no sharp edges to create hot-spots and start cracks. Difference between budget drilled rotors and good ones. Also the reason I went with the GMPP ones.
