rotor pros. anyone hear of them?
Seems really inexpensive for 4 drilled/slotted rotors. Anyone hear of them?

If you wanna brake good, dont.
Didja notice that they have no interest in brake systems that perform, just ones that look good?
"Each drilled hole is "CHAMFERED" to prevent the rotor from cracking."
BS. Rotors dont expand linear like a simple sheet of metal would. With enough heat stress, they -will- crack..starting at the outside edge of the outter holes, then move in towards the hub of the rotor. You cannot avoid this.
"Rotorpros only uses "PREMIUM" quality rotors."
At that cost, cheap Korean blanks are "Premium" no matter how you cut it. Doesnt mean Id race on em no matter what you paid me.
"The slots "DEGLAZE" the brakepads improving contact between the pads and the disc shortening braking distance tremendously."
Only if you are running 1100d+ on race pads does glazing come into play. Or..youre using $40 NAPA pads at 500d. Either way, once you glaze a STREET pad, you have compromised the binders and structure of the pad and it'll never work as good as it did before you overheated it, and will tend to overheat and fail sooner than it did the first time.
GOOD street pads dont glaze at any street temperature.
"Each rotor is treated with the best materials available and coated with urethane clear"
Ya..get those to 1000d just once, see how clear it still is.
I sell brakes, I'll take your money for slotting, drilling, and some paint, but I'll advise you what it costs you in return at the same time.
You think losing tons of surface area to stuff like that creates any MORE braking friction?
It doesnt.
Doesnt run cooler either.
