    So are all Apple devices.

    If they're truly Centric parts then I would have no issue with running them either.

    yes. Helps to keep the rotor from corroding to the hub bearing quite so easily. Course you should still but a light coat of anti-sieze on the hub face. light.

    Yes, well. I don't buy apple crap either. so you point was what again? (really needs a wall smilely up in here)

    I am an android fan. (yes, I checked the label on it to. Sadly all were made in china too. Samsung has a few made in Korea, might be my next device) Electronics are a bitch to shop for.

    Hell almost everything is made in China, fricking government pushes everything off shore with regulations and taxes why would a company not let the little china kids slave away in the sweat shops becasue we want cheap things. Pay a bit more and more companys will manufacture the things we want here in the good ol USA.

    My rotors are at the house. I'll take some pics of them this weekend. Waiting for the Russell SS brake lines form Greg.
    I am going to have the dealer do the work for me when I have all the parts in.

    Any update on these? If mine are near the point where they will need to be turned, I'd be interested in getting these and just having them thrown on.

    Status update. The black zinc coating on the rotor surface went away almost right away but in the vents and hub part it is still black. They have really come to life and the peddle feel is great and there might be a bit more dust but it has been kinda dusty driving this week. I will have almost 2,000 miles on them by the end of tomorrow for the week.

    I'll take some close up pictures this weekend and post them.

    They are having a 10% off summer special going on now if you want to get some new rotors.
