Silver Zinc plating

Teknokid · Apr 17th, 2003, 08:07 PM

I am going to be getting a pair of Slotted rotors for my Sentra and right now the company im going with iRotors is offering silver zinc plating for free ($25 value supposedly). What advantages or disadvantages are there with this setup??

They have crossdrilled/slotted rotors in stock but i heard about the cracking with crossdrilled, so im gonna go with just Slotted rotors. I do have to wait 3-4 days for these though.

Thanks for your answers guys

I have slotted and cross drilled Brembo's from Fastbrakes.. the cracking can occur under extreme EXTREME racing conditions, but it's not common on street applications... I highly doubt you will have any problems.. The plating will keep the edges (non-surface) areas from rusting...

Zinc plating will keep the hat from rusting (much). It's an aesthetic benefit, no performance enhancement.

Okay cool, this is good to hear. I wasnt expecting this to be a performance enhancement, just was unsure of what it was. Once again, you guys saved the day.
