I'm curious on the black coated ones. Are you saying that after they break in or have been used for a bit, the black on the rotor face(where the pads rub) will wear off? What does the face look like after that? And will it start to rust? I like the look of the Baer rotors in that even after years of use they look like they are chrome. How will the silver coated and black coated rotors of yours look? Is one more durable than the other? I could always have the hat powdered.

Default Great deal - ordered a set today!

Thanks for getting my order taken care of, Adam! I will be installing them soon and will put them through the paces on the Tail of the Dragon and Cherohala Skyway at the end of April. I will let everybody know how they do!

Yes, the coating on the friction surface will wear away during break in. There is no coating available that will stay on the friction surface. As long as you drive the car occasionally any surface rust that might accumulate on that portion will be worn away after the first stop. The portion around the hub and in the vanes will remain and prevent corrosion for a long time.

The baer decelarotors I believe use an anodized hat on the fronts and a powdercoated hat on the rear? As far as them looking chrome, the exposed iron friction surface will appear shiny as long as the car is used as mentioned above.

Total weigh is about 90lbs for f/r rotors and pads. That would be two 14X12X12 boxes.

Mine are here.





I'm not planning to install for a couple months but they look great and the process was simple and the shipping was quick. I am a happy buyer!
