Thumbs up EBC Dimpled/Slotted Rotors and Greenstuff Pads

I got the EBC dimpled/slotted rotors and greenstuff pads the other day and am installing them tommorow? Question. The rotors have a black zinc coating. Do I need to take that off with brake cleaner or wash it off or does it burn off within the first few uses??? I couldnt find anything on EBC's website about that. So any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Pic down below.

Nevermind, LOL. I just answered my own question. It says directly on the inside of the box of rotors that the zinc coating will wear off, therefore meaning it will burn off.

Talking

Yeah i got ur email Aaron. Thanks. So i just got done putting them on and drove around and just did some long easy stops since i have to break them in. I won't be able to tell you guys how well they stop for a few days till i get about 100 or so miles on them. Anyhow the install was a piece of cake. I wanna thank Aaron at turbotech for great customer service and products.

Baer has had them, on back order, for some time now... No time frame when more are avaliable.

Correct the EBC rotors are Dimpled/slotted, NOT drilled And we have Many more EBC in stock
