Cross-Drilled /Dimpled Rotors

I need to hear asap from anyone that has bought rotors in the last month from www.racingconcepts.net Let me know how you like them, mileage diven and if you don't mind, what pads you bought. I'm planning on ordering all four rotors from them Thursday morning, and AXXIS pads from either avalonracing, or eatricezone. Please do not post if you did not buy from them, I'm only interested in their product. Your help is greatly appeciated. Please do not post to flame or to try to sway me to buy another product.

Are they giving feedback on the quality of the product Mr. Moderator? If they are my bad, won't tie up org bandwidth, I'll go look at the thread right now. If not, would still like info. on the quality of the product.

whats with the attitude? it was an honest question. if I wanted to give you crap about a post, I would be direct about it. there's no harm in asking in this forum. I just remember seeing what youre asking for there...

again, I think you have me mistaken...

Hi guys, it's been 2 weeks since I installed 4 dimpled-slotted Zinc plated rotors, I got it from the GD, cost me 271$ shipped to Mtl-Canada. I think this is the best I could do before going big brake, for now I have no boost so no need for BB. I installed some Goodridge SS brake line with the new rotors, for a total of 400$, that really improve the brake on my max, the pedal is firmer and if I really brake hard it brakes a lot and all this for a very reasonable price. I know it might sound ot but the look is incredible specially with the painted caliper.

If you have questions feel free to e-mail me: dblea@videotron.ca

Cheers

Thanx for the honest response, this is the type of honest response that I was looking for. I guess this type of cooperation amongst org members that makes this forum what it is supposed to be.

It's not any kind of attitude, I'm asking a question that nearly twenty to thirty org members are qualified to answer. I specifically requested NO FLAMERS. I read through the original GD post, few people have made comments on quality. I'd like to have an idea of quality b4 dropping $400+ on rotors, brake lines and pads.

Hey rubman, one thing I didn't specify, in the 400$ the pads were not included, I had the Axxis Metal Master already on the previous rotors. Here is the break down.

Rotors = 200$ US for the 4
Axxis front pads, $48
Axxis rear pads, $38
Goodridge SS brake lines, $119
Motul 600 brake fluid, $12 per 1/2 liter

I bought the SS brake line, Axxis pads and Motul oil from: http://www.eatricezone.com/MaxBrakeSale.htm


Cheers
