Yeah in hind sight I should have just gotten slotted but I got caught up in the moment while ordering. I also should have gotten the hats PC black but they are zinc plated.

Yep they are great!
I thought they went out of business already.
Glad that they are still here.
I have set of 4 slotted & cross drilled on for almost 15000 miles already.
They are still going strong.

Can you post up pics of yours here so they can see what it looks like with the dimples filled in with brake dust. You are the reason I bought mine. I was a little worried because their site was down, etc. But the Ebay rating is still great and I had no problems getting mine.

Yes they are great. Mine just arrived from rotorpros this week. I got all four rotors and Hawk HPS pads, plus stainless brake lines for $355. Will be putting them on next weekend. Mine are just slotted though. Found them on ebay. Rich was very helpful and respond to emails promptly.

They work great! I did the bedding procedure from the Brake FAQ and the initial bite is just great and the overall feel is better. I know when I install my SS lines and replace the brake fluid things will be even better. We will see how they fair at my next Autox but the quality is as good as the stockers.

Side Note. Having an impact screwdriver to remove the rotor screws makes life a lot easier. in the past I have left these screws off but I decided they were probably there for a reason and I'm no engineer so I think its wise to leave them on. My dad said they are probably there to make assembly easier but who knows. Oh and I also needed to use a screw to push the old rotors off because they were seized up.

Question: I was looking at the old pads and the inner pads were worn way more than the outer pads. Any ideas? I wonder if I need to rebuild the calipers.

here is an example of what I found
Inner pad wear
Inner pad wear usually occurs when the piston can't retract properly. The piston may be binding in a scored cylinder. The piston seal may be distorted or just plain worn out. Both of these indicate a caliper teardown and rebuild.
The pad may be binding on a corroded caliper bracket. If this is the case, you may be able to clean the corrosion with emory cloth and brake cleaner. (Remember to keep brake cleaner away from rubber parts.) After the sliding surfaces have been cleaned, apply a dab of brake lubricant.
