Specs

Our rotors are machined and fully e-coated, just like the rotor hats. This is a protectant coating the prohibits surface rust from forming on the exposed surfaces. Once the parts are installed and being bedded in, the brake pad friction and caliper pressure will remove the coating at the spot the brake pads touch. This will expose the silver iron material underneath.

After researching the installation instruction I found out that I was not happy with the modification required to my original master cylinder check valve along with requiring additional valve to make these brakes work properly. After further research I found a forum online that showed that another guy had bought the same kit for the same car as mine and the brackets would not work. At that point I gave up on the disc brake conversion and decided to rebuild my stock brakes. If there was further investigation done on the fitment on the 51 Buick Super it might save the next customer the grief of returning the wrong part. Customer service worked great with me on my return, and I will remain a Speedway Motors customer for that reason. Bob K.
