Anyone with EBC rotors?

They have the gold plated, slotted/dimpled rotors and am curious as to whether or not they get the worn/oxidized appearance as badly as some of the silver/zinc plated rotors...

From what I've read online, only the Rotora rotors will not give you the worn/oxidized (rusty) look. Check these Rotora rotors out and see for yourself if that's what you want. Or do a search at the other site, and see my posts regarding my Rotora/Endless setup.

No, no no...Not true...I'm just curious over the EBC's...There are plenty out there costing over $500 that won't give that look...I'm trying to stay under $500 for rotors and pads and know of Tim's deal above, but again, curious of the EBC's...

OK, let me rephrase that...all things will rust/oxidize in time, some quickly, others more slowly. What I tried to say is that the Rotora rotors is manufactured with e-coating (sp?), as it resists oxidization better than most silver/zinc plated rotors that you can buy. That's what I'm trying to say (but didn't say it correctly). And I didn't read your post correctly the first time...sorry, don't know much about EBC. :o

After a ton of replies and information overkill, fu(k y'all!

Just kidding...I ordered the EBC's and green stiff pads as the EBC company rep guarantees they will drastically cut down on the dust or he will refund 25% of my purchase price from EBC direct (Since I emailed him because you arses wouldn't respond).

Anyway, my friend talked me into getting the gold for some queer-a$$ racer look. I'll see how it looks before committing to driving on them and if cool, I'll maybe order the rears, too. Otherwise, I'll wait to get Tim's Rotora rears (and/or fronts if the EBC are terrible looking). My Endless rear pads should be fine (as should be the rear rotors, though I'm gonna make the cosmetic rotor change and I'm gonna leave those alone for now.

I'll post some pics after I install them Superbowl weekend...
