iRotors install with pics.

With the .org being down, I am just now getting to post about the new rotors I picked up from iRotors.com. Black Zinc coated cross-drilled and slotted rotors. Added these and new OEM pads and my car is now stopping without the shaking I previously had with the OEM rotors. You can see from the pics that they were in pretty bad shape.

doesn't the black zinc coating come off as soon as you hit the brakes the first time?

so you're only left with a black center on your rotors...

Correct, the Zinc coating on the surface area has wore off, but the center hub area is still black.

umm the back of your stock rotor has me worried,

check your oem caliper and see if it is put on right, because even if the stock rotor was warped you would still get the whole pad wear area, not like 1/3 of the pad like yours shows

Yes, I agree with this. Make sure the caliper moves freely and that the pad is engaging the face of the rotor flushly. The back of that rotor looks bad.

I will take some pics today. Yes, they were a direct replacement for the OEM rotors. No modifications/adjustments needed.

Did you check your calipers yet? Your pads aren't making contact correctly...it's a pretty important safety issue...

Hey Se2k2, A word of caution if something is flaky about the rear caliper..remember my right rear seized on my 2k2 about 6 months ago. Had to have the whole corner changed rotor, caliper, pads. Just something to think about!

I have not ignored anyone in this thread. I have a lot more going on in my life than worring about keeping a thread on a message board updated. My car is fine and I have pulled the rotors off to examine them to make sure that they are working properly. Sorry I just don't have time right now to snap a few pics and load them to my pc, and post them on here. It's just not one of my priorities right now.

dude dont get your panties in a bunch, i was just saying that it is not a warped rotor that was the problem, your inner pad wasnt making 50% contact that it should have been, and you should look at that and not just replace the rotor and go from there...


sorry for trying to help you out

Look. It's fixed. They are working properly. Don't tell me to relax when I could care less about keeping this damn thread going right now. My car works fine, I took care of it.

Polak, if you want some pics so badly, just wait till you get yours on and look at them everyday.

Sorry guys, it's just not a very good time for me right now and finding time to update this thread or even take pics of my car and post them is just really tough. I"ll do my best to get some taken when I have time. They have made a drastic improvement in the braking of my car however.
