Arrow Your advice on these...

Any of you have purchased these?

I'm just wondering if these discs are any good.

For normal daily driving they're okay, but they may crack under extreme heat of track use... actual "drilled" rotors have been known to crack easier than "cast" rotors.

Well, I'm not building my ZX for track life, maybe the occasional visit, but street driving 90% of the time.


Thanks for the advice NismoPick!

Just dont be in a hurry for them, they are slow to deliver, took 3 to 4 weeks to get mine from them. they dont do the drill and slot, they send them out!

No, dimpled rotors do not crack as easy if at all. If you crack one, you're doin' some crazy shiite to your brakes!
