Default Installed my Brakemotive Rotors

I purchased a set of rotors from one of our CF Supporting Vendors, Brakemotive. I put them on my 2005 Convertible and below are the before and after pics so you can see the difference.

I painted them gloss black to go with my calipers

I would like to say that Brakemotive has wonderful customer service and I would highly recommend them

Tnxs,

Did you change the pads also? DO you notice a difference in stopping?

I drive like Mr. Magoo, so no I did not notice the difference. I did not change pads, but the ones I had have less than 2K miles on them and are high quality ceramic....no problems stopping

Do they stop worse? No.

Black calipers on black car look good. Did you paint the brackets or leave them natural? I have been debating painting the calipers and the chrome wheel barrels in a grey close to original, but that black is nice.

I also have them and no complaints here either. i put them on my car when i bought my car new and used the oem pads that came with my '12 coupe and never a peep out of them. but when i originally put them on with the ceramic pads that came with them they squeeled like crazy even after i bedded them the correct way a couple of different times. so i took off the ceramics and stuck with the oem pads and all was good.
