How are those brakes holding up Andy? Post a review, I'm searching for brakes as we speak. I was thinking about going with the Powerstop pads and rotors like I put on my wife's car a year ago, but looking at all available options right now. I like the brakes on her car, they stop VERY well, but my only gripe is that the "zinc plated" rotors rust VERY easily, every time they get wet. Other than that one problem, they work and perform great!
Just tell us how those Napa rotors are working out.

They seem to be just fine, I haven't really slammed the brake pedal to see how well they stop, I'm breaking them in gently, the pedal is a little spongy like before, so I'll be doing a brake fluid flush soon. Maybe that will make the pedal a little more responsive, but not sure if it would since it's a 4x4 Crew Cab truck.

I'll push on them a little harder this week and let you know (that's if I remember to report back).

I saw these rotors on NAPA's site for 100 bucks each with a 12 month warranty. I've never seen a cut pattern like this before, I wonder how these would stop.

Those rotors are nice and clean looking, never seen any like that before. Lookin' good!

Looks great! Love the plain, simple rotors.
Has anyone had a problem with the paint sticking/staying on?
I should paint mine green, but they won't stand out like the lighter colors do.

I think you have to use a special paint with a very good layer of primer. And make sure you prep the metal correctly.

House paint doesn't work.
