Well, new brakes are on the car. It took me about 2.5 hours to install new rotors and pads all around.
Drilled/slotted rotors definitely have a certain sound to them, but it's only noticeable with the top down and a curb or buliding to reflect the sound back at you. Braking is smooth though, and there's plenty of bite.
looks great - thanks for posting the photos.
please keep us posted on when and if they show rust. i will do the same with the centrics rotors.

Looks good. I might do the same. Where did you get them? How much were they?
I spray painted the center of my rotors black, they hold up fine. Those SOS ones look awesome though! When I need to change my rotors, those are something I would consider!

I ordered directly from the manufacturer, RacingBrake. Roughly $450 shipped, so about a $200 premium over a set of Centrix blanks.
No major complaints so far. I've been rained on a couple of times, and had the typical surface rust that sweeps away on the first use. The coated portions are holding up fine.
I did notice that the pad doesn't quite sweep the entire rotor face, so there's a small orange ring at the inside edge of the rotor face. I'll snap a pic one of these days, but it's not really obvious unless you're looking for it.
