ROTORPRO'S INSTALLED W/ Pics
Fianally got the RotorPro's installed, with new pads and painted calipers. Brakes; AC Delco Duralast semi-metallic and Caliper Paint; Folia Tec Caliper lacquer paint kit, and Goodridge Speed Bleeders. Thanks to all the forum members who have posted instructions on the brake procedure. 
The only problem I had was breaking off a bolt in a Caliper guide pin. 
Was able to clamp down on it with visegrips and back it out. 
I purchased all new caliper guide pin bolts and bracket bolts and properly torqued to specs. The bracket bolts came off with no problem with a breaker bar. Also flushed out all the old brake fluid with ATE Typ 200 Gold. Then properly burnished the New Pads and Rotors. Overall stopping Distance is excellent with the new pads and rotors, and the Pedal feels more responsive then before. I would say the new rotors not only look good but are very good in the preformance area. Will have to test them out in the mountains under heavy braking, in a few weeks. 
As for the price on RotorPro's you can't beat it. Thanks again to this forum it saved me money and gave me the satifaction of a job well done
