RotorPros use Centric blanks. They are good quality. Like everyone has said, we have used these for a while, tracked/AX/DD.

And you do not want to get drilled rotors. They run the risk of cracking at the drilled points. Slotted or blank is the way to go. (Street - you may not see cracking, track days - you will. The groups I ran with back in MI would not allow cars with drilled rotors unless they where say a GT3 or the like with factory $5000 systems)

2pc rotors are more expensive and generally overkill for street use. And can be noisey.

so rotor pro guy!....please tell me if there are any other differences you can tell between your slotted rotors and the brake planet rotors....materials....tolerances?

even if there are none, i'm buying yours because i saw you guys first and your on evolutionm....but i'm just curious...


but also.....please enlighten me.....is anybody here (rotor pros, brake planet) using aluminum centers, or no?......is that what 2 piece rotors are?
We are selling this complete set of 4 for just $219.99 shipped It's also important to note that we aren't actually RotorPros, just one of their resellers. However, I can certainly pass these questions along and report back with the answers, thanks again!

I just order the RotorPro rotors and they look great. Very heavy duty.
I'm trying to change my front and rear rotors.

Can anyone help & tell me how to change-out the rotors?

What about the dimpled rotors, do they crack as well or pose any improvement in performance? Thanks

There are tons of write ups regarding brakes and rotors on this forum. It is actually VERY easy to do.

I installed Rotorpros on my Evo 8 track day car. I run the car very hard at the track, I'm in the Instructor Run Group and I put 5 track days on these rotors and they're beginning to crack up. Is this normal?

Heat fissures.

Tracking is a lot of heat all at once. Normal in my book. Rotor life is decreased. They are not those carbon-ceramic awesomeness like the GT3 gets
