The rotors were sourced from Stoplabs. They were inspected for flatness, runout, parallelism and dynamic balance (I have a granite inspection plate, .00005 indicator, .0001 mics, 3 points and surface gage in the garage. Had to go into work for the balance check).

These are USA made rotors.

On the topic of caliper color, I saw on MotorWeeks new car preview that some WRXs and Panamerica's will be hitting our shores with poison green calipers!

JCL quote "The only product I use on pads is a special high temperature caliper grease, applied to the ears of the pads where they contact the calipers." This is all I've used too, also applied to pad carrier contact points and a thin film on the piston face/pad back shim contact point.
