It's only been on the car for a week now, but I'm pretty satisfied with the performance; they're not hi-perf parts, but the car brakes as is new.
The rotors *do* rust like crazy though.
Ditto. No complaints (about the parts that is). Well, except the brake dust from the Mintex pads is as bad as OEM. I threw in the SS lines as a treat for myself and it was well worth the extra $100.
And unless you spend the $$$ for cryo treating or cad plating (and why would anyone bother to do that with plain jane rotors?), any rotor is going to rust.
