I've been reading up on different rotors, and the names are being thrown around like they're the bees knees. There's a local shop that has a special, so I'm thinking of giving them a chance. From what I've read, these seem to be popular.
http://www.maperformance.com/rotorpros-haw...z-brakekit.html It's time for me to get new rotors (or so I'm telling my wife), so I figured that if I'm going to be tracking the car I want something that will stay cooler than OEM rotors. Let me know what you guys and gals think.

I'm about to order some rotors, I was gonna get stoptech, but these look like they might be a bit cheaper... interested to see if there are any reviews?...

Well Centric makes good rotors from what I hear, which is what those are. Plus for that price it seems like a pretty damn good deal. Also-black zinc plated rotors...........
 I may have to start doing some hard time on my own rotors so I can have an excuse to replace them with some of those suckers.

They're a vendor on my350z. I know the shop since I've been there and did a dyno once. I also saw a brand new set of rotors that another local Z enthusiast recently bought. They look gooooood.
I have seriously been eyeing these for months now.

Nice...well I could get a whole set for less than I was gonna pay for the stoptechs on just the front... as long as they don't blow up and catch on fire it doesn't really make a difference to me, just as long as they are quality and safe...

Why don't you like dimpled rotors? I know you track your car a lot, so if there's something we should know then please share it with us.

So, just my opinion.... At best, it seems that the dimples are "all show and no go." (trying to look like cross-drilled holes) At worst, the dimples reduce friction area. If I knew of a really bad (good?) reason not to buy dimpled rotors, I wouldn't hold out on my community.  |
