Some people want custom colors on them which we "DO NOT POWDER COAT" or state we do powder coat. We use the same method as painting a car ( primer, paint and urethane clear ) expect we use high temperature materials. For the longest best looks we recommend not using wheel cleaning agents and spraying them directly on the color treated surface. Thanks for choosing www.ROTORPROS.com We can offer all your members all four rotors for $255 shipped anywhere in the continental USA. Add $75 for a great set of low dust Centric Premium Pads. Custom colors are $30 more. Contact us directly at sales@rotorpros.com or (714)309-3620
Ok that is a SMOKIN GOOD DEAL!! Assuming this is the price for the Premium Slotted and Drilled that have the Black Powder Coating Correct??

I am a Service Manager at a small shop and we use the Centric Brand of rotors and they are top notch. I cannot even get the Slotted and Drilled rotors at that price.

Richard I will be buying a complete set of four from you soon. I am also a member of FTW which i think you know well.

Richard

I'm guessing the price is for the CTEK silver finish, that is then zink plated.

Richard, please confirm??

Thanks!

Rotorpros Rotors

We Can Offer You Guys This Deal Until The End Of This Month. After That It Will Only Go Up About $10-$20 So It's Still A Great Deal. I Am Working On Getting A Hold Of The 14" Rotors As We Speak. The Only Down Fall Is That There Is A Two Week Waiting Period For Them. I Am Not 100% Sure Of The Price Yet But They Will Probably Cost About $200 Each Drilled, Slotted And Zinc Plated ( Including Shipping )

I don't want to speak for rotorpros but I'm assuming it's the drilled and slotted rotor that is zinc coated. Painting the Hub would be extra. I was told that painting a zinc coated rotor on the hub wouldn't last long because the paint would chip off over time because it doesn't bond well onto the zinc.

Yeah it you wanted to you could sand down the zinc and then paint them yourself. It would probably last longer and not flake off.

Just got off the phone with Richard @ Rotorpros and he was a pleasure to deal with. I talked with him at lengths about pad selection also and he gave me some good info and saved me from making the wrong purchase as far as brake pads are concerned. Anyway I got the Premium Slotted and Drilled Centric Branded Rotors with the Black Powder Coated hubs for about 280.00 for all four rotors. Your pricing may be higher due to shipping since i live in the same state as him. I will say this though. I have a parts supplier that i can buy these rotors from and they cannot even come close to this price. This pricing from Rotorpros is about half of my wholesale costs. Great Freakin deal!!

We use the Centric brand rotors at the Shop i work at and I can vouch they are top notch rotors.

Richard

That is still up for debate. I had already set my mind on the EBC Redstuff pads but Richard @ Rotorpros says to stay away from the ceramic pads as they are hard on the rotors. So i figured ok no big deal, I will just get the EBC Greenstuff pads. Well turns out they do not make Greenstuff for our Stangs they only have the Redstuff or Yellowstuff pads and the Yellows are for full out racing. So at this point I am seriously unsure and confused as to what I am going to use. I know I will NOT use HAWK pads I have those on my 97 F-150 and freakin hate them Noisy as hell and leave lots of dust. I have a set of EBC Rotors and Greenstuff pads just waiting to go on once the current HAWK pads wear outr enough. As inexpensive as these Rotorpro/Centric Premium Slotted and Drilled Rotors are I may say screw it and try the Redstuff pads especially since our car is just a fair weather driver. I also orginally had my mind set on the EBC Slotted and Dimpled rotors but after finding out the price of the Rotorpros I simply could not pass them up. The total cost for all 4 rotors was only 20.00 more than just the front set of EBC's rotors..

Richard

Rotorpros Rotors and Pads

Just FYI www.CENTRICPARTS.com also makes some great low dust premium pads. They are as good as any of the big name pads but costs about half the price. We can add them to any rotor order for $80 for all front and rear pads. We do not recommend ceramic use for these rotors as ceramics are too rough on rotors. We sell and recommend their semi metallic extended wear pads.

No I plan on using the same Hawk HPS pads. They only have been used for like 1500 miles.
