I've just put on Bendix Ultimate Rotors and Bendix Ultimate Plus pads on my SSV. Standard SS brakes. The Rotors are slotted and dimpled (not drilled through).
Once bedded in they have more cold bite than the OEM, and more positive feel overall, but I'm not sure how they compare to others that are available.

I am interested in these as well. Any photos of them installed ?

The only downside I've noticed is that they are very dusty.

Looks like the rotors have proper rust prevention coat unlike DBA

Yeah, I think it said something like that on the box. Also no need to clean them off before use, just chuck 'em on and go! First couple of uses needed more pedal pressure but got good pretty quickly. Maybe that accounted for the high dust. I'll see how they go.

My T3s rusted a lot
4000 series rotors will rust more due to the iron content used to make the rotor handle heat better.

Also the owners using them are more likely to use a semi metallic pad creating more dust which is rotor and pad dust and has the bright orange rust colour.
