i thought about it, i honestly really did, but i felt the silver was a safe bet. I know for a fact that someone like Jeff would want gold ones, cause he has alot of gold stuff on his car...

But ya, its a hard call. maybe gold would have been good.

I am going to test to see how long the plating will last. but either way I think its a good deal. Rotors have already been shipped. pads are already with me, so I am ready

I remember you talkin with turbotime, you were dead set on the gold ones.. will be interesting to see how the plating holds up where the pads contact and overall with the heat, with my black rims the rusty water dripping off my freshly washed ride suuuucks, i have to come home and wash my rims seperately... be nice to have to worry bout it less if at all

did you go with the slotted or drilled or j whatever?

For me going with any colour but silver would look weird since the plating definetly rubs off where the pad contacts the rotor.. leaving a silver ring.. wouldn't be noticeable on the silver rotors but would stand out for sure against gold or black. maybe the gold was just to bling bling...

hydrolikz should test these out since I know he beats the **** out of his brakes lol

Mine OEM were pretty bad changed mine not from KVR but still good better heat distrubtion but since they are cross drill they have tendancy to make noise *normal*. Hey Soul give me a shout if you need help im useally home on weekends how about nice rotors before the opening next sat.

Tue! I'm considering the black ones (stealth), or the silver ones because they stand out more. I'm leaning towards the black ones, but I don't want them to do what you guys are saying above.
