I wish I was running their four piston calipers (AP)!!! I have been through many sets of factory rotors, and am currently running a set of autospecialty slotted rotors. If you don't mind the less dazzling asthetics, I would go the slotted route. I've had them for almost a year and a half with no problems. Previously I was cracking Honda OEM rotors about every 4-6 months, so if anyone here is hard on brakes it's me!

I'm using them. They're alright. I also have the KVR carbon fibre (no really, that's how they spelled it) brake pads & ATE super blue fluid. It seems to work pretty well, and for some reason no matter how hard I stomp I can't reliably lock up all four wheels, though brake torque is massive (even in the rain). I'm not sure if that's because of the pads or the discs, though.

One other thing: I've had them almost a year now and the pads are about half gone with half a season of drag racing, a couple autocrosses, and about 20k km's on them. They don't seem to have warped noticeably yet, either, and that's with some long road trips, short jaunts, all sorts of driving.
