I've had them for almost 6 months now... both easy driving and hard track use works great! got slotted and dimpled.. went ahead and upgraded pads and SS lines... no complaints only praise!

I've had mine, slotted/dimpled for about 2k miles. I had new Hawk HPS pads put on at the same time. No problems so far.

I've hit them very hard a few times from 100+ -> 30. No fade, no wobble

I can second the fishing reel sound... I was told it's from the air passing between the pads/rotors... It's only mildly annoying when all the windows are down.

I have noticed a hissing sound when braking lightly. I'm assuming it's the pad compound. Anyone else have this too?

^^ yes, I also get the same sound and it didn't matter which way the slots/dimples were oriented, I tried both directions, but regardlesss, the rotors get a big from me.

do you guys hear this sound only when braking hard (like 100 mph +), or with normal daily driving. I absolutely HATE brake squeal and such, so I would like to avoid it if possible. Recommendations?

well since their stocker size and measurement probably the same unless you went slotted and dimpled/drilled.. then it might shave off alittle weight?
They work great and of those I've turned onto these no complaints and only praises

I did some searching. I found out in David Buschur's "Dyno testing brake rotors?" thread that the stock fronts weigh 21.35 pounds. I find in another thread, someone weighed these rotorpro rotors, and the fronts came in at about 19 pounds. Not too shabby!

Has anybody picked up brake pads from them as well?


I was thinking about getting the set of rotors slotted and the guy was telling me they carry brakes from the same company. I believe it is Centrix or something of that nature.

In the past, I've seen someone pay $260 or so, for all 4 rotors. That was a couple years ago though... Right now I was just quoted $280 SHIPPED, which still rocks.
