the rotors drilled after casting seem to have les problems then they used to. my guess is that before, they would occasionally hit a vein in the rotors and that would weaken it. ive had my post-casting drilled and slotted rotors for close to two years now, with no problems whatsoever. i would get these though...

Slotted rotors are better and stronger then drilled.
I would get slotted rotors if I were you.

I like slotted only too.

I have black zinc rotors, the black wears off the braking surface quickly, so take those photos shortly after install.

The black zinc in the slots and rotor hub is still there and doing a good job of stopping surface rust so far.

Just installed black zinc rotors....
All these who said it wears quick are wrong.

It wears immediately. try them, and....... they are silver!!!


BUT, there are pluses to that coat, cause all the surfaces that are not being touched by the pads stay coated, nd continue protecting the rotor.

NO MORE RUSTED UGLY HYUNDAI EDGES!!!!!


Whay are you not going with FlyRyde or RotorPros?
Both sell for the same price, and you don't have to guess on their quality.
