Thanks everyone..!! The orders are filled and on the way..

Be sure and give me some feedback on your experience with the rotors..

Remember, please try to break the rotors in slowly and with used pads...Avoid using new pads and new rotors at the same time.

Vanes point foreward NOT back swoop...

Enjoy..!

Fantastic. Will try them out this weekend (with PFC01s) and will report back.

Thanks Rick and everyone else who ordered a set today!

Ah, full on swamped at work today, didn't even see the GB... but I'm good on rotors for right now so I can wait until the next, no rush for me.

Rick, so the rotors will keep that slight golden tint for a while? Or does that eventually wear down?

And to be perfectly clear on which side they go on/vane directions, in the photo in your top post, the one on the <<- left side is the front left rotor, right side ->> is front right?

Hi i just ordered a set. anyone have any feedback?

also, i think it's recommended not to use new pads with new rotors but how bad is it really? my old pads are completely gone and i will have to use new pagid rs-14 blacks with these new rotors.

thanks

Hi Guys,

Here's some initial feedback:

I have 4 days on them so far and I'm quite happy. They were VERY gold when I got them, but one session took care of that.

I've been running PFC 01s and I'm just starting to see some small cracking. I'll be switching to RS29s later this weekend to improve my brake balance and to see if I can a bit more life out of them.

They do work great and if they last at least as long as the cup rotors I had previously, I'll be super happy.

Cheers,

Bryan

Car looks great Bryan. Now, about those wheels.... Do you want cups on your OZs or are going to stick with the crack?

Bryan, keep us informed on the life of these rotors. They should last 2-3 times longer than the cup rotors according to the seller.

After Dave Karl told him he had done 1.50, Brian had permanent smile stamped on his face for the rest of the day. I definitely think he'll stay with the crack!!

Bryan, where are you seeing the cracking? Didn't think there should be much if any cracking on slotted rotors.

I wonder if cracking with slotted rotors has any bearing on replacement cycle, or is it just rotor wear limit thickness.
Anyone have any insight on this?

I probably have a couple of more days on my cup rotors before I throw these on.
