Default Just got my rotors from Wholesale Direct

Lookn good!

Check em out.. project brake upgrade is coming up soon now ...
These are for the fronts... Im waiting on my steelbraided lines ...


Anyone know about the zinc plating? How can I tell it was done?
Looks top notch to me but I would'nt know ....

Also im gonna be flushing my system with ATE SuperBlue.

"ATE Super Blue Racing brake fluid has a dry boiling point of over 530 degrees F, far exceeding DOT 4 standards. Mixes with any other DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluid. Super Blue absorbs moisture very slowly, so you don't have to change it as often as many high-performance fluids. Great for your street car that sees weekend track duty"

And Ill be using Motives power bleeder:


Anyone have any experience with ATE fluid or the bleeder? Shouldent have any problems right?

Those are sweet rotors MADY. Are the cross drilled slotted rotors only good for the front or can you use them on the rear too? You powder coating the calipers too? What color?

Yes, please do.
Thanx Leo

You can get em for the front, but Ive seen people mainly using just slotted rotors for the back... I guess you could have drilled too.

Im not doin the calipers, atleast not right now

there are different colors of zinc plating - yellow, silver, black ....etc....
They look a little shiny - typically it is not that shiny - but it all
depends on the plater..
If you have handled them with your hands - bare metal will start
to oxidize - where if they are plated - they will not.
Typically - the zinc will shine up " a little " if you buff it lightly.
Look nice though.
