    Interested as well. I would like to see some pictures after they have some miles on them after a day - a week.

    The coating wears off in like a week. The coating stays on the slots and the hub of the rotor because the pads don`t make any contact there.



    It`s a shame that those EBCs don`t come with CAD plating further inside the vents of the rotor where it matters the most. Nonetheless, EBC makes pretty good stuff.

    The inside vents have a really gold colour, I think they might have been zinc coated to get that colour, or its just the base plating for the black.

    when I installed my CAD plated rotors, I topped the rotor hats with grease to help keep the salt away for a while.



    then again, you could always put some crazy sealant or wax on it :p haha

    Stick with the grease or some anti-seize, LSPs don`t last IME.



    Mr_Elusive- Yeah, please report back as to how they hold up through the winter. Looking great now!



    I`m about to get cryoed/plated rotors on the MPV next week, dunno how well *they`ll* hold up, but it`s better than nothing.

    Tomorrow when I install a short shifter, install new rears and service the fronts, I`ll snap some pics of how mine have held up through a winter of harsh salt and abuse :p



    I was only kidding about the LSPs..hehe!

    yeah, winter here in utah just trashed my rotors. I`m gonna try and get some steel wool with something to get it cleaner. It shouldn`t damage anything
