I have a question: what exactly is the difference between your 2 rotors? I mean, they look exactly the same, but there is a 50 dollar difference and you say:
so what exactly makes up the difference? are we talking more durable or increased braking performance?
We are adding these new rotors because other vendors on this site already sell the same grade rotor. They are not as good as the ones we sell right now. There are different grades of rotors. Our current rotors could be used on a race car

well the difference is in performance, the new street series rotors are not as durable as the race series nor are they as great. But they will get the job done better den stock. Perfect for the daily driver, unless the daily driver is like me, ur going to want the race series rotors for more performance when u go turbo

ok, i don't mean to be an @ss, but neither of you answered my question, and neither does the rrm site.
i'm sorry, but simply saying "nor are they as great" doesn't cut it. what makes them better? what makes the race ones stop quicker? what makes them more durable?
i'm sorry, but this seems to be an ongoing problem with RRM and marketing, you guys just say "these are much better than are competitors" and "don't be fooled by cheap imitations" by you NEVER give specific reasons why
if you guys dont' know, thats cool, just say so, but the ambiguous answers just aren't enough when several hundred dollars are on the line

I know. Guess I gotta spill it since you force me.
Rotors are made in a couple different places. R-1 has been selling the cheapest grade rotors. I know cause I buy rotors from the same guys. THey sell 4 different grades of rotors. We machine them after buying the blanks. We have been selling the best rotors (race series.) They are more expensive because they cost us twice as much $. We decided to sell another grade too. Not the ones R-1 sells but a step up. THese are Street Series. They are better than stock in both performance and durabilty. Our premium rotors are 3 steps above stock and will resist warping under high heat situations, and will last longer. Bottom line is you get what you pay for on rotors. No one would just trust us so I guess I gotta use example of the cheap rotors being sold by other vendors.
You get what you pay for. Any other questions just call and ask for me. We will work on our marketing flaws!

Initial review - the brake lines are great. On my drive from the car place back to work, the pedal felt stiffer and more responsive. More results as I drive around more, and I'll take a picture tonight.
