I just ordered a set of front and rear dimpled/slotted silver zinc with black hats from ROTORPROS.com. Does anyone have these on their ride? If so how do you like em. Also I'm thinking of going with Raybestos QT Ceramic pads.
Please chime in

Rusty, I have had them on my Vette for about a year, and am extremely happy with them! They got rave reviews from many at the Orlando mod party this past weekend.
No rust dipped and plated and painted hats with 900 deg. paint and a VERY fair price!

Who could ask for anything more?

I used the GM pads.

Thank you very much for the positive input.
Are you using GM Ceramic pads or GM regular pads? If not ceramic pads do you have much dusting?
Thanks..

The regular pads. Not much dusting at all!

I heard that Ceramics are good for daily driving, but not for the track because of that reason.I hear the OEM give the rotors a real nice shine. Again thanks for you positive input.

I have them on my 2004 Cpe and i love em! using stock pads.
Their rotors are made in canada and are good quality, i bet they come from the same raybestos factory...clearly worth it, If anyone wants pic's e-mail me airsearchrescue701@connecttime.net. Remember they are directional and sometimes the boxes are not marked R and L. just make sure you put the correct rotors on the correct side

Hey Doug,
Sounds good to me..everyone has chimed in with positive feed back. I can't wait to get em and install them. Also putting on the ss pad covers.
Also thanks for the tip on being directional and maynot be labled when I receive them..
