I didn't paint mine. No rust yet. But I don't drive it when there is salt on the road.

Thanks everyone. :nice:

check out how white those shop gloves of his are :hail:

Bringing this thread back. It's been quite a while since it was started and I'd imagine that a lot of miles have been put on the rotors & pads from Rotorpros since then. Question for you guys with these rotors & pads (specifically the drilled & slotted) that drive your car every day, rain or shine (sorry and no offense to garage queens or dry weather machines only, your driving situations don't apply to me), but how have they held up? If you painted them prior to installation to address the rust issue (even for the zinc coated rotors), has it held up and did you prime before painting, or just throw on a few thin coats of hi-temp?

My car is a DD'er rain or shine. I have had the drilled and slotted Rotorpros since around Thanksgiving last year. I have the zinc plated type and did not add any paint to mine. I have very little rust anywhere on the rotors. The holes and slots get a fair amount of brake dust on them but I use a good spray on wheel cleaner that cuts brake dust and it cleans them up very nice. So 10 months later I still think this was a good mod that make the car look better also. I also did Earl's SS brake lines at the same time and they give a great feel to the brake pedal. :nice:

Thanks Scott that's what I was hoping to hear :nice:

got any current pics?

I will take a few after work tonight. :nice:

As promised. They are holding up pretty good. The are about 9-10 months on the car and maybe 10K miles. Driving in rain or shine. Even seen some of the winter salt here in Ohio. Now my Steeda lugnuts is another story. :mad:

seem to be holding up nicely:nice:

Hi I just got some of these in the mail. Is it normal with these that the fronts have 4 drilled holes and the rears have 3 holes? Tacobills pictures have 4 and 4. Im confused.

My front has four holes..and my rear has three holes (sorry no picture). I've seen the all zinc version of these rotors with 4 holes front and rear from Rotor Pro's. Not sure on their logic why they do that.

I think it has to do with room. The front rotors are larger arnt they?

My zinc coated rears also have only 3 holes. I am sure it is because of the smaller diameter.

Great thanks!

How many turns does it take to bottom that the piston out? I'm at the point now where I'm ready to douse the car with gasoline and light it. I've turned that **** piston for what seems like days and still can't get enough clearance to slip it over the rotor. This is fun!

Until its all the way in.....

I am old and that experience was like 10 months ago but as I remember it was like 2 - 2 1/2 turns on the rears. Do you have the bleeders open so you are not pushing against the hydraulic pressure in the lines? I know this sounds dumb but.............:dunno:

push and turn

Push and turn is right, I did not count, but kept going until the piston was in almost all the way flush.
I did not open the bleeders, just make sure your reservoir cap is off and keep an eye on it as not to over flow it.
