Brake Performance rotors???
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 am thinking about buying them but would like to hear experiences?

I live in the wettest place in North America, if it is not rain or fog it is wet snow. I like the added brake feel of slotted or drilled rotors, you don't get that, "oh is it ever going to stop feeling when the brakes are wet and cold." I have tried blanks and they just don't hold up, they pit and grove from the constant rust build up the pads will get glazed over from wiping the rust from the rotor and we know that a glazed pad is useless. I have used cheap drilled rotors with fairly good success but the holes start to rust and then they plug up and I bought a used set of EBC dimpled and slotted and they are working fine but it is time to get new and sense I am going to be in the United States for 27 days in July and August I thought it would be a good chance to get them without the high shipping and duty being added to them. Pad life is not an issue. I have yet to see a good set of pads wear out from normal average driving. The friction material will separate from the back of the pad in around 2.5 years if it is an excellent set of pads and as little as 1 year for a cheaper set of pads. The last set of front and rear pads separated at 2.5 for the front and they were around 40% worn and 2 years for the rear and they were around 20% worn. I use the NAPA Ceramix brand that have a lifetime guarantee and are an excellent pad that has awesome bite in the wet and cold, no noise, I don't notice any fade from high speed stops, and no dust build up on wheels(I don't wash the car often, once a month at most).
