I replaced mine about a month ago, I went with AC/Delco drilled/slotted rotors and ceramic pads. Very happy with the results so far, no issues. I had read that the rotors and hubs were prone to rust, so I coated the black hubs with hi-temp clear prior to installation. I'm not concerned with any rust on the rotors themselves because after washing that comes right off as soon as I use the brakes.

Great looks and I'll bet they stop on a dime and give ya a nickel change. This the next mod I think for me. This whole 'Mod' thing is very infectious.

Thanks! Yes, it's infectious all right. What started out as a desire for new wheels soon blossomed into painted calipers, new rotors, pads, stainless steel braided brake hoses, and new TPMS as well. There was nothing wrong with any of the components I just decided to replace/upgrade everything while I was changing wheels.
