Thanks for the link. Prices are good. When I need brakes, I'll buy from them.

I have had their cross drilled and slotted premium rotors for 2 years with no problems.

I've read both good and bad. Glad you are happy with yours.

WOW, good thread and a good read for anyone considering buying from this company. Customer service is a big thing but at the same time you wouldn't want someone ******* your company... anyway I wont hijack this thread but a good read if you're considering buying from R1 oh wait.. I already said that...

Basically read it and make your own decision.. I understand both sides but if it were me and I had good service I would've just painted the rotor

I don't have a prob with people using them. They look good. Even i have a set for my Mustang.

I just have a prob when people think swiss-cheesing your rotors is an "upgrade". When i take my Mustang autoXing, i remove the Xdrilled rotors and run a set of Brembo blank-face rotors.

People should spend less time worrying about how many holes or grooves their rotors have in them and more about the quality of the steel used to make the rotors. Does anyone ever ship a material cert with their rotors? Nope.

drilled are for looks and looks only... they do make it look kinda snappy - but suck bad for road course

I recently learned about Centric rotors and did a little research on them myself before buying a set from Tirerack for my Mustang along with some Hawk HPS pads. I have been very impressed with them so far and if I ever need rotors for another car I will be buying the Centric rotors again. They were very affordable and have performed well on my Mustang.
