Just curious how many people have gone with the Black Zinc coated Rotors over the Silver ones... about to pull the trigger on some but living on the Rust belt was really hoping to get the Black coated.

Just looking for feedback.
thx

Put the R1 black, drilled, slotted w/ ceramic pads on my '14 charger r/t about a month ago and no worries so far. The brakes work much better than oem. im planning to put the same on my rebel when the time comes.

Mine will be here Thursday, do you notice a significant difference? You would be shocked at how many forum members are anti drilled/slotted!

You wouldn’t believe how many people kinda blasted me when I asked about upgrading brakes on this forum. Stock stock stock, there is nothing better OMG, thank you for your response I’m glad to hear that.

OEM brakes were crap.Had to replace rotors after a couple of years(<20k).Pads had lots left but they never did have any real grab to them.
Drilled,slotted,coated rotors on it now and it never worked so good.Been on there 2 years now(in the salt belt)and there is some rust around the outside edge but not bad.I'll buy them again when the time comes.
