Well I picked up some ebay rotors and some Hawk HPS's. Ebay rotors dont look to bad zinc plated cross drilled and slotted. Will post pics once I install them and post how they do. I'm not a really agressive driver and I'm still stock so wont give these a major workout but will look good with the bling bling factor which is all I wanted them for. Here is a pic of them before install

Who did you get the rotors from?Also is there a bedding process with them? They don't look bad at all , congrats.

It was R1 Concepts if you search ebay you are bound to find them they have rotors for all makes and models. My friend picked some up for his 91 Mustang from the same place. They have plating options but they silver zinc plate for the included price. I'm going to bed the pads according to the instructions on the Hawk pads box.
Says:
step 1 Make 6 to 10 stops from 30-35 mph applying moderate pressure.
step 2 Make another 2 to 3 hard stops from 40-45 mph
step 3 Allow 15 minutes for brake system cool down then brake are ready for use.
Thats about what I do for regular brake jobs. Will post next week when I get these installed and let you know how they are. (Still deciding on caliper paint choices.)
