The brakes work very well , installed easily and i have yet to hear the famous "squeal" that Porsche's are supposed to have.
Leading evidence: 'Install easily and i have yet' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Inspect piston seals' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I really like the Hawk HPS (blue) pads installed last year.

I have used both Pagid and PFC pads with serveal sets of stock rotors with amazing results.

Hey man, i did a full brake job in the summer, i used Sebro rotors with textar pads.

Suggestion
Either way, this would be a good time to inspect your piston seals for deterioration or wear as well.

Depending on how you plan on using your car, if you plan on doing a lot of track events or mostly street driving will help determin what rotors and pads to use.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hey man, i did a full brake job in the summer, i used Sebro rotors with textar pads.
The Sebro's are excellent quality, they were coated but on the pelican website it says they are not. The Textar pads are of good quality as well, got everything including retainer kits front and rear, shipped to Milton for under 1000.
The brakes work very well , installed easily and i have yet to hear the famous "squeal" that Porsche's are supposed to have.
On a related note. As long as I have everything apart for the R&R, I want to remove the calipers and refinish them properly. If I unhook the brake lines, is fluid going to come gushing out? My thought is no since I wont be applying any pressure to the system.
Thanks for the link. Usually after I wash the car and let it sit they do rust. As soon as I hit the brakes the rust is gone. That is why I am wondering if it is worth the few extra dollars for coated.

FWIW, the price, fit and quality of OE disc's is hard to beat. Once you go into with separate hats and rotors and rotors the price jumps pretty quickly, and remember they all wear out pretty quickly.
my $0.02
No Gator, the rust actually develops on the hat of the rotor (in addition to the rotor suface). The hat will not be rubbed by the brake pads so no braking can remove the rust!
Coated is mostly aesthetics IMO, however I do find coated rotors to be useful for folks living in the snow belt where I've seen and experienced my fair share of wheels that werre stuck onto the rotors from rust over a period of time.
Like others have mentioned, the OEM rotors do have a coating on the hats.
Aftermarket rotors like Zimmerman come FULLY coated.LOL. You actually have to brake a few times to rub off the coating on the rotor surface where the pads touch it.
Regarding taking the calipers off, put a piece of wood between your seat and the brake pedal to depress the pedal around � - 1 inch. That shuts off the master cylinder valve. I have day my calipers off for 4 weeks and the zip locks around the brake lines have only a few drops in.
I think it was Sneaky Pete who gave me the tip, but it is the best brake tip ever (having previously had leaking brake fluid everywhere.
I have just in the process or re-finishing and rebuilding my calipers and painting the rotors, my take is don�t even bother to try and paint them yourself, it�s a huge amount of work and the finish is crap. Pay $200 and get them blasted and powdercoated, the finish is amazing and well worth saving the time.
If you're a first time painter then yes I would have someone else do it. Otherwise for the people that have painted stuff before, it's not that much work at all and can come out looking very nice.
Either way, this would be a good time to inspect your piston seals for deterioration or wear as well.
Done with Duplicolor High Heat Paint and Clear Coat. Home Rattle Can Spray Job:
I could find the Zimmerman Z coated fronts in a few places for about $100 eac, but the rears were harder to find, Vertex has them about $125 each. Anyone else find better? Lower dust pads with good braking and modulation?
