Probably fine for a street car, but don't dare put them on a track or even an Auto-X.

Lets just hope they dont Crack...

I don't know what kind of driving you do, but if its tracked then i would not recommend them. Spend a little more and get some better rotor's

If you Daily drive then i guess you can try it. And hope for the best.

Look at Brembo's website about fakes, poor quality vs. the real deal. Rotors that were designed to be solid then taken and drille to become drilled and or slotted are not what they were first intended for and they cause a potential threat by using them..... Just my .02

Oh yeah and they said this right on the description page..."Customer will indemnify and hold Raceconcepts harmless from all liability and damages incurred as a result of using Raceconcepts products"

I'd instead suggest rotors from RRE. $230/pair for slotted rotors. Known good people who race. Not sissy internet dormroom kiddies selling whatever crap they scrounge up.

I bought those rotors for my daily driver RSX. They say they dont need to be cut. Well i had them installed, and surprise they were warped like a ****! Had to take them off and have them cut. They still arent true and smooth, and they make the car shake. And the metal is real soft so u cant use any performance type brake pad. The vented holes arent crowned so it makes a clicking sound at any speed.

Do not put these on a EVO!

I bought ebay rotors about 3 years ago from a vendor called rotorpros. They were slotted and dimpled not slotted and drilled. After three years from my Project Mu pads, they have minimal wear. They are definately lasting way longer than the stock brembo rotors and stop just at well if not better. They also never fade on the autocross.

My friend had the same exact problem from a well known brand where they came warped and had to be machined to smooth them out.

I purchased the same set of rotors from Rotorpros about 50k miles ago. I've done 4 days worth of HPDE's a few auto-xs and well over 100+ 1/4mile passes and the rotor have no sign of unusual wear on them. I've gone thru ECB pads, Project Mu and now I'm on the Feroddo DS2500.

Just make sure you get DIMPLED and not drilled. For $199 shipped for all 4 you can't beat the deal.

I actually bought rotors from them for my c class. Did not have any bad experience. Have them still for about 2yrs now. I guess for city driving it works great. Dont know about track use though if they can stand the abuse.
