I've been considering rotorpros for a while as I am in need of changing out my stock rotors soon.
Any advantages to slotted with this specific product? Just curious to find out if rotorpors slotted is any better or worse than their flats.

People fail to recognize that probably 75%+ of all items we buy nowadays are coming ouot of some factory in China. Then they get the proper labeling, and off they go to the distributors, to the customers.
A friend of mine is a manager of a large buisness.....wont say who. They did some investigation and found out that the SAME company is making coilovers for tein, stance, megan racing, apex-i, buddy club, I could go on!! So now they are considering marketing a set of coilovers in their own name.....since its all the same parts, why not!!
I just dont get too excited about parts unless I know first hand that these are made in house like AMS. ETS. Buschur, etc. Everything else is from china or mexico, so cant blame anyone for buying the cheapest ones!

rotorpros
i have the zinc "slotted only" on the way. also i ordered axis Ult. ceramics "pads" so ill be keeping mileage and wear information for both products. by the way anyone have a "how-to" to swap out the rotors?
thanks
thanks
Search the "How-To" section?
Honestly, it isn't terribly hard. Get the wheels off, then there's a codder pin and a 34mm nut. I'd suggest having a huge breaker bar or impact. Once you get that nut off, it's a matter of getting the brake caliper off the rotor to slide the rotor out.
Mostly, it just takes some finagaling to get them to slide out of there. I'd suggest tapping the pins in the caliper out to get the pads out before you remove/change the rotor - will be easier with the caliper mounted solidly.
As for RotorPros. I've thought about them, but I feel sketchy about it. It sounds like it could be hit/miss, but I have also heard good. So IDK.

I have had the zinc coated slotted/drilled and have had no issues with warp, fade, or cracks. They are indeed Centric blanks. I have been very happy and have had them for about 8k or so.
Not sure where you found stoptech replacements that are 2x more than rotorpros..
Just FYI for most people...

And I'll be receiving my rotorpros (centric) zinc plated oem-type rotors and hawk pads soon.
A friend of mine couldn't even believe the price I paid for the whole package. Definitely cheaper than any vendor on here.
