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.

Had to remove the bolts in the caliper brackets and add another washers to clear the rotors,and the grease seals I received are garbage,I went through 2 sets,never had a problem putting in seals before,these are acting too large to fit in rotor, trying to find out why.the seal warps badly when installed, can't be right! Anyone else had this issue? Quality kit otherwise.
