Brake Performance in Winnetka, California

Has any one bought the PREMIUM DIMPLED & SLOTTED rotors from Brake Performance in Winnetka, California? If you did how would you compare them to other rotors? They carry a lifetime warranty against warping and have black or silver Zinc plating so they should look good for a while.

I do not agree with this thread being moved from the general maxima discussion to dealership vendor experiences. I am looking for an opinion on the product not the company and there is a difference in my eyes. The reason I put the company name in is so people wouldn't get confused as to the rotors I was referring. I would like to get a good set of rotors with dimples and or slots and use a premium ceramic pad with them my problem is it looks like I will have to order them from the United States so if a fellow org member has some experience with them I would like to hear about it. I would prefer to stick with the dimpled and or slotted rotor since I live in an ares where we get an lot of rain, drizzle, fog and wet snow in the winter so plain rotors are at a disadvantage and Brembo's rust way to easy and will not last in such an harsh environment. I am still open for suggestions although I would like to know if the Performance Brakes dimpled and slotted rotors are worth the money or if they are trash.

I've got rotors and pads from them. I got the black coated ones - which I recommend. The dimples fill up with brake dust and turn black anyway, so you might as well have them painted black to begin with. I'm happy with the rotors although I think next time I'll go for a cheaper options.

Also, the brake pads squeal. A lot. All the time. They perform well, but I'll never get their brake pads again.
