Thanks for the info, Darth and Tex! Darth, in your pic was the halo area around the hub painted also or is that the actual zinc finish? I also worried since you went with EBC, a much better quality item than the one's I've ordered. I thought pretreating them with this Hyde's Serum couldn't hurt before putting them on the car.

this is a great thread, i like the way the rotor looks that was posted earlier^ but i see some ebay rotors that come with the hub painted? is that paint or colored zinc? the callahans im looking at dont say zinc coated 
and i noticed brembo dont have d/s rotors you need to pick one or the other. ^600 for a set of 4.

ShawnOk the hub area was painted by me. The rotors came in a zinc coating from the manufacture. I first did some prep work by lightly sanding the hub, followed with a bit of cleaning with laquer thinner to remove all contaminants. I then taped the rotors and I used high heat Rustoleum flat black spray paint. This is all I did and as you can see the paint sustained well over a two year peroid without any issues.

SC4ME if you refer to the brake performance website there is an explanation how their rotors are zinc coated. There is a before and after picture provided on there website that displays the outcome of the rotors with the wear from the brake pads. Refer to the provided picture.

Got my parts this weekend and they are actually branded with the PowerStop name and part numbers. Unfortunately it's going to take a while to get the install done since i'm low on dough... Here are some pics. This package included all the pad hardware, also.

New D&S rotors, new pads, and repainted the calipers. Mod completed! Broke in the pads and everything works great. Had a small shimmy and sound on right hand turns from Front Right tire on the test drive but my mechanic sorted out the spring that was loose. All good now! Braking power feels the same as OEM. No pulses or anything. Plus, my new rims have more vanes so the rotors and red calipers will really shine through. Check out some pix!

u got the same ones i got! powerstop rotors. Hey does yours squeak when reversing. Mine started squeaking but after driving for about a week it stopped all together not sure if it was just breaking in the new rotors and pads.
