New Brakes and painted calipers (pics)

Put on new brakes and went ahead and painted the calipers. The brakes are powerslot rotors and hawk cermanic pads. They seem to work very well so far. There is also a picture of my toy on the way to put her in for the season.

If you don't mind me asking, what did the powerslots run? Im looking to upgrade to them since I tow alot but Im not sure if the cost is worth it.

Where did you buy them at? I'm looking at doing the exact set-up. How is the brake dust? Thanks!

I forgot to ask, are these the cryo treated Powerslots or the standards?

How do you like your powerslot rotors? I just put a set on the front of my 2001 with Hawk Ceramic pads and they are seriously starting to tick me off. My oem were warped for the 3rd time, so I put these on. Definately took out the wobble and are smooth until I press harder on the pedal, then they clunk like the pads are getting caught on the slots.

i have put a couple thousand miles on them so far and everything is great. I have almost no dust anymore. I manage an aftermarket accessories shop and purchased the brake from here. The power slots are the standards not the cryo.
