Thanks Scott, now my list of stuff to buy is getting bigger. Anybody have an opinion as to what color caliper paint i should get? Car is WB. I thought about red but girlfriend thinks it will look funny. Next is SSbraided lines. Might as well do the whole thing at once.

I'm definatly going to get some rotors from these guys. I think a set of black would look great.

I am not sure what to suggest. I have a white vert and don't want to get gaudy. I am thinking I should just stay with the stock silver calipers. Red would be loud and white would be ricey... IMO. None of the colors match your car either. So my suggestion would also be red or stay with the stock silver.
Scott :nice:

Thanks for the heads up on the Aekebono pads. As promised here are the pictures. Larger rotor is of course the front.

So you say urs are what they call "premium"? And if those are whats the difference between yours Richard and Bills rotors? Just curious... :dunno:

My understanding is the Premium versions have the inside area between the disks and the hub area powder coated Black. NOT painted or Zinc coated. They cannot be ZINC coated which to me is no big deal since it wears off anyway once the pads touch the rotor surface. They are the same rotors just more finished. At least that is how I am understating what was explained to me. With my Wheel and tire combo and black calipers i wanted the hub to be black. The extra cost is only like 20.00 for the set.

Here is my wheel so you undersatnd the look I am going wiith.

I see. If I maybe nosy. Any particular reason you went with the drilled vs just dimpled? Would the dimpled rotor have less chance at cracking or the same. Im looking into thses and I also would pay the 20$ for the painted hub. Now is there a big difference in price, when you were looking, between the reg and premium rotors?

Guys stay away from the premium rotors if your worried about rust. I had the R1 Concepts premium rotors and they rusted everywhere the pad and black paint didn't touch. The means all the slots and holes and it didn't look pretty after the first couple car washes. Stick to the Zinc coated ones.

Bill, your NEVER forgotten on this board! :nice:

Scott, I emailed him through the site. I'd give it another try. Maybe it didn't go through. :dunno:

Thanks Jeff...I'll give it another try.
Scott:nice:

Scott, PM sent

Got it and thanks David!:nice:
Scott

I would agree with this.
This was not a concern for me as my car does not get driven in rain and has only been washed once with water since bringin her home. I was more concerned with the look of the Black Hub area. The rotors themselves are the same with the exception of the ZINC Coating.

By the way for those of you sending Richard a Email It would be faster to call him.


Richard

Ha Ha.. cool man.. I cant wait to hear about the new "surprise".. I havent gotten an email either so I think I'll give them a call. For those who did get a call. How about sharing some info!! :nice:

Rafael what info are you looking for?

By the way guys just to tell you know what a great deal Richard offers on these rotors. I have a source that i buy the Centric brand of rotors from as stock replacments. So I decided to call them and get a price from them figuring of course i would be able to get a lower price. Well for what it would cost me to buy just the Fronts alone Richard is selling all 4. Needless to say when i informed my source of the price he about fell out of his chair.



Richard

How long does it normally take for Richard to reply to the inquires on the rotor prices? its been a few days.

(Newb question)Those dimple rotors have the same issues of possible rust? Or just the drilled one. Or niether? (/Newb question)

Up to a week, minus weekend of course. Which is why i suggest calling him. Remember though he is in Calif. so adjust for time differences.

As for rusting it would be the same on drilled or dimpled.

Richard

Jonathan, hang tight. I sent off my inquery on Thursday and got a response on Friday. Did you do it from his site or through e-mail? give it till Monday and if nothing give him a call.
I sent you a PM.

David

Again, Thanks David. I sound like Im in a rush but I'm really not. Im just anxious to see what Im going to do next on the Mustang. :grin: I have a few ideas circling my head right now. But from what you've told me these seem like a nice mod to do with not alot invested. Who knows.
