Thanks for the compliments guys. And special thanks to TacoBill for helping me with those brake PDF's in my time of need.
The first couple of stops with those new pads were kinda scary until the new pads bed in but she stops good now. I did this mod more as an appearance mod over a performance mod. Time will tell if the braking is really better of not.

No squealing at all. When you first take it for a drive it doesn't brake worth a darn for the first couple of hits on the brakes but you need to "bed in" or "set the new pads"? Take it up to about 50 - 60 mph 6 times in a row and brake it hard!!!! You should feel them getting better every time. Give them a few minutes in between hits to cool off. I have not heard a noise from mine at all except the first couple of times when it sounding like gravel was it the brakes. Not even a peep!! There is a rough coating on the pads that helps them bed in. Give it a try!! Don't baby them!! Keep us informed.

Lookin good Rich.
The difference I see between yours and Rotorpros is that you have 2 rows of holes between the slots. Are they about the same price?

r1 concepts rotors that I purchased from ebay. I don't remember the name on the box and so far they have held up very well. No complaints except they do have rust on them. http://www.r1concepts.com/ I just posted to offer an alternative to the others. Not trying to highjack this thread~

Well those appear to be the same rotors they have simply had some changes made to them, they are selling all the Centric branded pads that Rotorpros also sells. I would be willing to bet that they are actually manufactured by Centric. Take a look here.

They are real close in price also.

I'd like to see how the Rotorpros are holding up with daily driving, i.e., rain/rust. I know they're zinc coated, but that only lasts so long.
The R1s are not coated and will show rust after getting wet. I painted mine with high temp clear paint prior to install and show absolutely no rust. I have to do my rear brake lines so I'll take some pics then.
