Some input on rotors...?

I'm thinking of purchasing the slotted rotors from brake performance . com

Any input on the quality and ease of purchase would be greatly appreciated

Those are Ebay quality rotors, you can get a good deal on some slotted StopTechs from vendors on this site. You should check out their deals before you pull the trigger.

rotors go with some stoptech, DBA 4000 and 5000 series, and racing brakes. Many members can vouch for these products. Never go cheap on braking. Your life is at risk.

Can anyone recommend a good website to buy two new OEM front rotors for my 2009 G37S sedan? My local dealer has quoted me $92/each if I order from their parts website. Are there any better deals available?

Thanks

Stoptech all the way... Look and handle way better than stock ones for sure.

It's funny how people assume that lower price = low quality/unsafe product

I'm currently running the brake performance rotors with project mu pads. I've driving this setup from Minnesota to Florida and back, not to mention running them hard on the Tail of Dragon. I also daily my car. No issues.

These rotors are essentially the same as our OEM and as a plus come zinc coated. Why does it matter? because you won't be getting the ugly rust ring that shows up on most aftermarket rotors like Stoptech, Rotora, DBA, etc... If you search around, there's actually a decent amount of people running these and like myself who have been very satisfied.

If weight savings isn't a factor, these are equally good at Stoptech/Rotara. If you care about weight savings, then look into DBA or the Concept Z rotors. Ultimately, it's whatever you feel comfortable with. Just don't want you to disregard a good product because people who haven't used it assume it's bad due to its cost compared to the popular choices.
