Default Update on my 2006 Sierra rotors (powerslots installed)

Original Thread

Hey everyone,
I have had the rotors on for about 3 weeks.
I bought them from buybrakes.com for about $210 delivered.
They arrived in 4 days in good shape.
The rotors look very similar to the stock ones. The thickness of material, cooling fins, and weight, are all close to the same.
The casting numbers however, do not match. So they are not reworked stockers.

The performance is very good. I have done the recomended 500 mile break in. After that I went to a closed racing course and went 120 a couple times and slowed to 50. They did not fade and they did not pulsate like the piece of crap stockers did.
They look good and work well. They are zinc coated. That should keep them from rusting.
I hope they last a long time.
I am using my stock pads. I just took the glaze off before installing the rotors.

Here are a few pics.

i'm talking about the bolts holding the bracket to the knuckle, not the pins holding the caliper to the bracket.

No reason to remove them when changing the rotors. I left mine alone.
