Default Brake Rotor Brand Balo- Feedback

Hi,

Anyone used these Balo brand rotor on their 996 for street/track? Any feedback since the cost is a fraction of Zimmermann.

I installed the coated Balo rotors from Pelican on the rear of my C2 Cab earlier this year and have put one DE and a couple of thousand miles on them. I am quite happy with them and the price is amazing.

Be careful, I bought a set of Balo rotors for my 2001 from a vendor and they were not coated. Started rusting within a week and looked like crap. The vendor listing did not show which rotors came coated or not... sounds like Pelican at least states that. Getting uncoated rotors is not worth it.

By the way, that link is for the UNCOATED versions from Balo!!!!! Check the small box on the left under "Other Brands Available" and you will see the coated Balo versions cost more. Buyer beware!
