When it is all said and done just be prepared to to explain that your rotors are not installed on the wrong side of the car because your slits are in a different direction than theirs

Yah, on second thought, I'm not sure if the gold brembo caliper will go well with the green hat on a silver car. Little too many colors there.

Post me up a pic when you get yours on so I can see what it looks like.

It's better match than not painting. I wouldn't bother with trying to anodize the rears either. For how much actually shows, it's close enough.

Yeah...ok....so the painted iron does not match the anodized aluminum hat on the front. I would have to admit there is must be paint that would better match the fronts...but oh well I love my new rotors anyway. 2001Z71...post some pics of the install and final assembly

I posted pictures on page one...by the way...GSR. You could also check out my stickied instructional thread

https://g35driver.com/forums/brakes-suspension/182516-project-mu-rotor-stoptech-ss-lines-nismo-pad-installation.html

Or look here at me at the track enjoying the benefits of upgraded pads, rotors, ss lines, and fluid

Do you have any pics of your whole car showing the rotors?

I have been talking to Andy @ Performance and all I can say is A+ for customer service!

I can't see what pictures I posted in this thread about my installation of the JDM S-Tune suspension since I am at work but here is a try...

http://g35frenzy.com/forum/showthrea...t=10873&page=3

If these don't show the rotors well I will take a picture when I get home and post it. Glad to hear about your positive experience with Andy. There is a couple of motion shots now posted in my Stickied DIY thread at the top of this section...I can't see those either right now.

I have Stoptech Aero 2 piece rotors for my fronts, drilled. Project Mu slotted and dimpled in the back. I think it looks pretty good for not matching the front and rear. It looks a hell of a lot better that regular rotors!

I sold the non-matching rear rotors, but the rears have a ton of life so Ill buy matching ones when the time comes.
Its hard to tell even now from a few feet away that the fronts and rears dont match.

GREAT! I am glad your happy with your new setup...Looks fantastic.

Can I post some updated pics Notice there is no rust due to the paint and the fact the rotors came with some type of black coating/chroming of some type. I really like your third shot.
