well, from look it looks sort of heavy, but rust free at the same time. the disc itself is perfect for pad break in. i dunno, run 'em and let us know your impressions

that's the name of the company... but for $34.41/each you really can't beat that with a stick. all depends on the quality i guess, by sight the mounting braket for the rotor looks kind of ghetto that's all. i personally wouldn't run them

If reasonable price, you can go for Brembo OEM fit ( TYPE R)slotted front and rear disc , plus Hawk, axxis or Project u pads... it is good for street , and autocross once in a while...the only thing is the brake dust...but you will satisfy with the little investment...
Of course other brand disc and even 4 pot cap will be costly but always do and looks good.

Some high temp paint won't hurt.

Autozone rotors FTW!!!

Stop lying....those are black hats!

For Canadian guys in the pacwest, try Lordco, otherwise NAPA or Canadian Tire is usually the place to go for cheapest rotors in town.

Black hats are bad. White hats are good.

Oh wait, that's in the old-time western movies, not on brake rotors... Never mind.
