For the most part, rotors are rotors. As long as they are cast iron, cheap, blank, and fit properly, I would use them.

Actually I do not have my answer. He gave me some good info on rotors in general but no good or bad comments on these specific rotors. So thanks for that useless post.

He gave you the criteria for an acceptable rotor. I ask you, are these rotors "special" rotors of some sort that they should not be evaluated as a "general rotor?"

There is nothing special about these rotors except the fact they are expensive.

I agree that he gave me the criteria for an acceptable rotor. No where in my posts did i say that Rotora rotors were "special" rotors or that other rotors are "general". The info he gave was on all rotors (brembo, rotora, OEM, etc) but gave no information about Rotora rotors. I searched but could not find any information. Lets not turn this thread into an e-war. All i was looking for is some info on these rotors. If you have any, please inform us but if not then just go to the next thread. We could post back and forth all day but that is pointless.

Rotors are rotors! Honestly, I don't understand what you cannot fathom about this.

I heard that AEM rotors suck and warp. so how are rotors rotors if some last longer or stop better or don't warp? I like oem but if i were to get new ones I would be just as cautious and pickyas EKcoupe is. so if you don't get why he is asking about it then hit the back button and keep looking for a thread that interests you more. I think this thread is turning pathetic so to keep it going in a POSITIVE direction...

I heard good things about rotoras. not as good as willwood or brembo but better than stock. thats what I only heard that from one douche but I mean he has to know what makes him stop better even if he can't tie his shoes!! j/k

Warp Rotors are generally not due to bad rotors, but sucky pads, since I have been running better Qualitypads I haven not "warped" a single rotor, and trust me I abuse them big time.

Go in to the Road Racing forum. Aside from the guys running big brak kits, find out what kind of rotors they all use. You will find that most use AUTOZONE BLANKS! Why waste money on a wear item when cheaper alternatives work just as well?

Thanks for the info. Are you using OEM rotors? What pads are you running?


I heard some bad things about brembo cross drilled rotors from a local guy.
