You have PM Bluaeon

We should have some install pics once John @ Akuma gets them installed. He got his calipers re-coated too but I am not sure what color.

I will admit these do look nice, but I'm skeptical about the quality/durability of these rotors.

May I ask why or what has given you the impression they are low quality?

They are made from a Ductile Iron which is denser then a Standard Gray Iron rotor. They will be able to withstand more abuse from heat and aggressive track pads.

They are Directional vane which cool about 40% better then standard pillar vane rotors like the 1PC GSR and even the 2pc MR OE rotors. The Directional Vane pattern creates a pressure drop inside the rotor as it spins drawing air in through the center and forcing it out the vanes. The faster the rotor spins the more air is pulled through it the better it cools.

They are a fully floating design which allows the rotor and hat to grow as they heat up up-opposed from each other which prevents premature ware, warping, and cracking.

Also being the 2pc design the rotors are much lighter then the OE 1pc rotors for improved throttle response, acceleration, and deceleration. They are also a direct OE replacement. They utilize all the OE components of your brake system including full function of your e-brake.

Our rotors are of some of the highest quality around. They are running beautifully on Ryan Gates EVO X (Blacktrack) ever since he started racing (he got the first prototype set and has been running them ever since) as well as many other EVOs STis that race. GST Time Attack, P&L Time Attack, Jarrid Hoops, EVOdan are just a few of the top racers that use our rotors. We use the same style of rotor for our EVOs and STi as with all our Porsche GT3 Cup cars, Areal Atom, Ferrari Challenge cars (355, 360, and 430), Nissan GTR, Ford GT and GT500, as well as R8, Gallardo, Murcielago just to name a few. Just because our rotors can look good doesn't mean they are low or poor quality.

Sorry for the rant but a statement like that with no backing is not going to go uncontested.
