EBay is flooded with those rotors. I had good experience with them on a Lexus my ex-g/f owned.

Black06Stang - those picts are AFTER I hit the brakes
Painted the hub and the outside edge of the rotor (aka where the rust was before I sanded it off).
The little paint on the rotor surface was taken care of as soon as I hit the brake

Steven, I could be wrong (I don't think so) but I don't think you should have painted the surface of the rotor where the pads hit. Although it may seem that the paint is gone once you hit the brakes because the paint is off the rotor, the problem is it can get inbedded in the pad and glaze them. You may want to pull your pads and inspect them. If I'm wrong, this is certainly news to me. I've never heard of painting rotors. I believe what the name rotor paint means is for the hub on the rotor. There should even be a warning on the can that says not to get paint on the face of the rotor where the pads hit. -Joe

jbailer - I roughly masked them off. VERY little paint was actually ever on the surface.
I could not get it masked off in a perfect circle so I did it as best I could. Just a tiny amount and I mean TINY amount ever ended up on the surface.
I have been driving it with no ill effects as I can tell.

Better Pics
Blue shows on camera a bit brighter than it is in real life. Very bright sun throwing the camera off.
Rained all day yesterday and last night - so excuse the rotor rust

cool just tell him the guy from the studios sent you. i didnt actually meet him i sent my driver. but i talked to him on the phone a couple of times and said he would give the forum guys a deal. i am prob going over next week to give him my old ones to do. btw if anyone that has a v6 wants lager front rotors. from what i understand the only dif is the offset bracket the gt uses the same caliper but uses a dif bracket and rotor. so my understanding is if we get the gt mounting bracket we can go to the larger rotor. you must have the larger wheels gt takeoffs or other. just some thought. i wish i would have known that but i may upgrade anyway
