Rotors are not a very high tech parts so, as long that the metal/casting used is of good quality, you will have no issue.Originally Posted by WaterDragon

Couple of notes:
The link is for the rear and since the rear do very little braking, "cheap" rotors are OK.
Slots/grooves are OK, cross drilled is not.
I love their "distance to a full stop" graph
Did you notice the distance.. 20 and 30..... feets!!!!!!
Must have been a braking test from 5mph. Lol

Hah, I did not notice the feetS. That alone kills them as a possible supplier for me. Maybe I'll just stick with the EBC premium stock replacements.Originally Posted by luc

And, worth adding, removing 8.5 lbs of rotational weight is something like the same as 34 lbs of dead weight, so x 2 = the same as removing 68 lbs from the car, so if my calculations are remotely correct, that would shave .068 seconds off a 1/4 mile time, or about 2/3 of a car length at the end of 1320 feet.
