A few weeks back I asked about these rotors, and now they are on my car... And this is my best mod and replacement I have made since I got my car, because finally I am relaxed about how my car feels under braking conditions...
My OEM rotors suffered a case of warping and a bit of cracking, and this led the car to shake like jelly, which kind of made me worried and embarrased to have any of my friends in my car...
Steven at R1 hooked me up, with a killer price and even better service, I was happy with just the way it was all handled, and being from the middle east and that we cannot connect at all except by e-mail, he had the rotors delivered very quickly... 3 days in the US to NY, and had them shipped to Bahrain in another 7... (NY to Bahrain was my arrangment)...
He advised me to get the PREMIUM LINE ROTORs, with 7 slots and 8 drills between each slot... and the hub is E-coated in black... They look awsome and feel awsome, not more powerful than the originals but there is a bit of difference... Plus they are working great with my OEM pads...
So before the pix, I want to thank : Member Israel, Tyrant and a very big thank you to Steven at R1...

Thanks for the compliments guys, plus I cannot stop raving about how well they work...

GFs RT: Got the fender badges off of ebay for $60 shipped, they are made by MoPower and originally go on the shaker scoop... Either look up HEMI emblems on ebay or PM MoPower, they are awsome, but are hard to keep clean with all the dust and sand where I live...
