Installed last month, no issues. Stops better than stock but you are probably paying more for looks than performance

Looking to upgrade stock brakes. Have read good & bad reviews on these rotors. It's a street car. Anything is gonna be better that whats on there now .

More show than an upgrade.

If really wanting to upgrade the brakes, a good set of shoes/pads, new brake fluid and quality plain rotors will allow them to work as best as they are gonna get

I've got drilled/slotted on my car and I'll be the first to admit I did it 100% for aesthetic reasons

Thanks for the info & you're right . I think the appearance is what peaked my interest the most . Just gonna stick with tried & true flat rotors.

know that some Ebay and cheaper drilled rotors are actually worse than blanks,, have less friction surface and thus increased stopping distance, and are prone to cracking- plus most shops wont turn them

I was looking at c-tek rotors from late model restoration. Probably just gonna go with oem rotors but drilled & slotted sure do look nice

I did this with the c-tek rotors Great improvement over stock and yah, it looks cooler. The c-teks are only like 20 bucks more than the centric flat rotors so I figured what the hell. Rotors are made in china but the quality is there.
