Are those StopTech? If they are, then let me know as I have some advice before you install them.

Indeed they are sir. Advice is welcomed

I have a pile of stuff here to install in the spring. Def gonna be a solid weekend of work so anything to speed up the process would help.

Ok, here is the deal. I have those exact rotors and am quite happy with them.

However, they have a small issue that is known as the "StopTech Rust Ring". Before you install them, go buy some high temperature clear (or colored if you want) paint. The ring develops between the hub and where the pads make contact and will appear very quickly after you start running them.

Anyway, mask off the hub and rotor surface, leaving about 1/2 to 3/4 " of the rotor exposed near the hub. Get it? I hope I am explaining this well enough. Then spray a couple of coats of the high temp paint. Do not worry about overlapping the paint a little on the pad contact area on the rotor as it will come off with a few brake applications.

I hope that this helps.

I think I get what you are saying. Thanks! I dont wanna be rolling around with rusty rotors.

Mr. onzedge, are you referring to the concave ring around the hub? If so, the rusty rotor issue affects the Z1 rotors too.

I've got rust there.

Here is a picture (sorry it is a cra**y low res droid shot) before I sanded the rings off and applied clear high temp paint.
