New brake rotors!!

ok so the first time i bought rotors for my G I didnt know much about them or really care but now I do..

So I bought rotors from like autozone or whatever and they have the awful rust on them which is an eye sore.

Anyways Im looking to dress up that area a bit while i save up some cash for a BBK mod

I was looking at these they seem to be a decent company and all let me know if you have any ideas of a better company or anybody use these on here?

zinc coated so they do not rust. Been running them for 2 years and am totally happy with them. No warping, no cracking and they still look like new.

Taken about 5 minutes ago. Doesn't get much cleaner than that.

do those have a zinc coating on all the parts not touched by the pads? or something to not show the rust?

They are entirely zinc coated when you first get them. I am pretty sure they dip the whole rotor. Once installed the first time you apply the brakes the pads burn throught the coating in the pad path and you are left with a fully coated rotor except for the pad path which is exactly what you would want.

For my money the best rotor out there is the Centric Premium, plain.

Just installed those Centrics 2 weeks ago with hawk pc pads. Love it! Not too much initial bite, no noise and not much dust either. I def like it better than stock setup on an 03 6MT

Cheap Upgrade

I just got done doing a Budget upgrade on the rotors and lines on my 2003 G35. I did not upgrade to the 06 brake package like most do on a budget build since I did not want to dish out the cash for new calipers. I went with some EBC rotors and Hawk Pads with Russell Brake lines. The 2003 G35 already has amazing stopping power. The really only advantage to going to the 06 model is less brake dust. The Hawk pads will take care of that. I spent about $350 to do this upgrade.

Stock lines vs. the Stainless steel Russel lines. Really shortens up the the length the fluid needs to travel.


Installed on the car. Painted the stock Calipers.
