Rotorpros

Hey people just wondering if there has been any more feedback on Rotorpros rotors for the EVO. The price seems awesome but I haven't been able to find to much info with searching.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I have a front and rear set with project Mu brake pads. I've had them for three months and drive 100 miles a day. So far they have been absolutely perfect. No warping , wear issues or rust.

I've had them for about 3 weeks. They survived one track day w/out any issues other than all of the paint burning off them (so get them in plain metal, not painted). I'm a little bit worried about extra pad wear, but so far so good ... I'll post a review with pics soon.

I am currently using HPS, which, IMO, did not hold up all that well. I'm waiting for HP+ pads to me made available. If those don't work, I will end up going with a different brand.

sounds like those are the issue with the hawk pad (HPS)...... I think you may have better luck with Feredo DS2500 or Cobalt GT-sport pad.


what about the rotors itself ?

I have the Rotors with the HAWK Pads. for about a week now. They held great from 150MPH to 50. No Problems at all. EXCept the little noise from the slots making my car sound like a bumble bee.

I've had them on for about 2 months now with no issues. I've been very sensitive to whether or not they would warp as I had bad luck with our stock rotors. So far so good! It really strikes me that unless they crap out in the next couple of months, really its hard to beat these things for the price.

The caviat for anyone interested in them should be the recognition that you get what you pay for. If you track the car, race it, drag it, etc, then realize that in the long run these are probably not the rotors for you. But if your looking for a solid daily driven rotor for those who drive "spiritedly", then so far I've got nothing but good things to say about the rotorpro rotors.
