So what do you do when your rotors get warped? I always wondered that about aftermarket 2 piece rotors. Can you resurface or are you just stuck with getting new units.

If the rotor warps you just buy the rotor and remove the hat from the warped one and reinstall it on the new rotor. It's not recommended to resurface most slotted/drilled rotors.

That's how I roll man. My STi went from stock to winning first place Subaru at BOTI in like 4 months

Here's some picts from just before I put the brakes on, but after I got Robispec'd.







I've got a lot more on the way.

Just put myself out there. Some of them I've lucked into, some of them I've worked hard to get, and some of them have just taken lots and lots of correspondence It helps that I do a unique form of racing that pushes the car and requires top notch parts. And I show my cars and win awards and talk positively of my sponsors and hopefully give them more business. It's just about how you present yourself and how you can help them more than Joe Blow who sent them an email saying "y0 dawgs, sponsorz m3 y0".

Haven't really gotten that far yet. I've never put more than 30k miles on one of my cars before I got something different

I don't, other than saying they are way better than stock Brembos. You'd have to see if any magazines have done tests between Rotora and other brands, 'cause I haven't seen anything yet.

are they really better than Brembo? I think stock Brembo is good enough, just need some nice pads/lines/fluids. some TA evos, like the cyberevo uses the Brembo. For me, the aftermarket BBKs are just for looks. yea for looks!... that's why I want a nice BBK. lol...
