brake advice

Hey yall,
Can anyone tell me anything about these Centric rotors? I'm on a budget and I can't get the best rotors right now.. So I would apperciate some feed back on this setup.

I have an o7 coupe.. base model.

Most of the other rotors I have seen have black hubs. So, I was wondering is that just a coating. They kinda look like they would rust and produce a lot of brake dust. (that rust/orange color on the rotors)

Rotor and Brake Pad Kit Special!! Cheap Prices with Great Quality, Check it Out!!

Just got these today from Z1 racing

Centric rotors are very good. Stoptech uses Centric blanks and machines the slots and/or drilled holes in them....that alone should tell you something about their quality. If they are good enough for one of, if not, the best brake manufacturers out there then they are good for me too.

If you are worried about the coating then just get some high temp brake paint and paint the rotor hat. Nothing but good things to say about Concept Z as well, I bought my Akebono BBK from them.

No rust at all anywhere but on the fiction surface in humid days.

spray your new rotors with high temp paint before install. your pads will take off any paint on the areas that you use and protect the rest of the rotor from rusting.

Centric is legit I'm running centric premium, rotora ss lines, project mu pads, and dot4 fluid, and I would do it all over again.
