So what do you think? Just finished installing my new rotors today.. decided to paint the calipers and ordered some caliper decals too.

I got the rotors from www.irotors.com and they cost me $360, that was with CA tax, they are from CA so you, or those outside of CA, wouldnt be charged that. The price was actually $339 for all four including shipping. I set up a group rate for a local LS1 Club. So all you have to do when ordering is say youre affiliated with NorCal LS1, they wont care where you are from.

Got the caliper decals off ebay for like $10.

So Sweet. Thanks for the post. I will order mine next week. Man they look good.

Nice rotors [Big Grin]

No prob Brian.

I just edited my post above.. Im not sure if the rotor manufacturer is a chirpthird sponsor so to be safe I edited thier name out.

If you need the info on them feel free to email me. Avengeance96es@aol.com

[Cool]

How do they feel? Not sure what pads they use. But I'm sure its an improvement over what our stock ones are. [Roll Eyes]

Posted by Avengeance Z4C (Member # 2053) on :

I used "Performance Friction" Carbon Metalic pads on the front and OEM autozone replacements on the rear. I didnt go with the rotor manufacturers listed pads. Ive only had the chance to drive about 3 miles on them so far.. the weather sucks right now but from that I can tell they work nice.

Buddy of mine has had these same rotors on the front of his 01 SS for a few months now.. and even with stock pads he loves em. I specifically waited a couple months after he got his to buy mine.. just to see how well he liked them.

No need to edit. (You're thinking of the rules from another board.) Everyone is welcome to post here.

It's o.k. to post the manufacturer & supplier/contact info for parts.

I really like your red/black color scheme. Looks fantastic!!! I did mine in Navy Blue, to go with my NBM car, and I've been thinking about a two-tone color scheme, but havent found anything that really looked ideal to me.

Even if the certain items from a particular person aren't licensed but a forum sponsor sells the same thing - and they are licensed???

Thanks man... appreciate it!

A good buddy of mine that bought the same rotors just painted his calipers. He has a NBM SS. Ill get some pics for you.. he did his like mine.. two tone with a NBM color and black.. hes going to put silver caliper decals on his. You might like how his turned out. [Smile]

??? Oh, Miss M., no way! *sticking finger down own throat* (yaaaak!) [Big Grin]

By the way, the rotors with the paint/decal job looks fantastic! Great price for the rotors too, although I'm leaning heavy toward the Eradispeeds myself.
