well today i had to do a panic stop from like 100mph because something jumped out in front of me and when i parked at my house i checked out the rotor and sure enough there is a blue heat scorch mark about half an inch wide all the way around the center of the front driver's rotor and cracks run through it.
the passenger side is the same way although not as bad

hmm, for the most part blank rotors are pretty similar it seems
looks like a trip to discount is in my future for some bindix rotors. i think i'll be keeping my pads since they still seem to have life left in them.

Those are just minor Heat checks. You will probably wear them off in a couple hundred miles of normal driving. Blue Hot ring nothing to worry about either . I've had them blue accross the whole rotor swept area. keep driving and enjoy them.

Doesn't look bad at all to me.
If you are going to buy new rotors, I would just get the same ones that skull leader listed. I think those are the ones I have with my C5 conversion also, and they've worked great. It's probably what you have on there right now.

alright, i'll keep these rotors a bit longer and monitor the cracks.
i got freaked out when i look at them and saw the cracks, the last thing i want is a brake failure -- especially how i drive.
thanks ya'll
