Default RacingBrake Rotors??????

Has anybody ever heard or dealt with racingbrake rotors? If so, how was your experience with them? the reason I ask is that I can get a set of them for $250 shipped for F & R. here is their website for more information: http://www.racingbrake.com . Here is a pic of their rotor:



Thanks in advance!!

The cheapest Brembos I found are $300 shipped for slotted or drilled but not both. Brembo does not make slotted and drilled unless they were machined blanks but those are notorious for cracking. so i dont know what you are talkin about.

I'm a big fan of the Autozone or Murray's OEM replacements.

Yes they do make slotted and drilled, straight from brembo. And they're usually around $75 each. You can get brembo blanks for even cheaper, and theyre generally better anyway.

BTW thats one of the worst reasons to do something like this to a car, especially the brakes.

No offense. I guess if I have advise for you, just get slotted rotors, theyre much less likely to crack than cross drilled and or cross drilled and slotted rotors. BTW the most advanced brakes in the world are neither cross dilled or slotted, how's that for boring? also never heard of that company you speak of, but you get what you pay for, cheaper parts are most times just that............John

well a lot of le mans rotors are cross drilled but for regular road use check into dimpled instead of drilled....gives you the look w/o most of the structure problems
