RotorPRos Vs the Rest
I got a price for the rotorpros for 300 for all corners. Why are these so much cheaper than the others. What's the differences. Stoptech direct replacements are 2x as much and there not aeros'. If you have these rotors what do like about them. Any defects?

I agree. Brakes aren't something to skimp on.

I don't know if either of these guys above me actually has these rotors or not, but I have the painted red set at all four corners with about 1000 miles and they are awesome. Quality is good and finish is amazing, I get comments on how hot my rotors look all the time. For the price you can NOT beat these.

don't be too sure about that. When it comes to brake rotor I believe cheap rotor doesn't mean bad quality. Speaking from experience......when I track my ITR, I have use many different rotor. Starting with OEM (came from the car) then Brembo (~$60 ea.) then Centric (~$45 ea.) then Autozone (~$30ea.)
They are all blank rotor and I can honestly tell you......they are the same in perfromance and the only different is the price. I believe the most important thing is break-in process, not the price/ brand.
for the record...I also bought the rotorpros rotor (blank) and i will use them for track only. Will post my review later.

I have these on my Evo. They were delivered in a Centrix box...
I know it doesn't mean they are necessarily Centrix blanks, but just though I'd share

Centrics are usually made in Taiwan - pretty good quality G3000 rotor
It's the Chinese rotors that are sketchy - I watched a Centric and a 'autozone' rotor on 2 similar ECHC cars. The autozone rotor was grooving after one session

They are made from Centric blank rotor, I just received mine ( I ordered blank from RotorPros) and it came with a Centric box.

Just done 3 days at the track with my new RotorPros rotor.... I have blank rotor and use XP9 track pad on it. Zero problem, no crack, no warp. I'm very please with their perfromance.
For those who look for replacement rotor, these centic/ rotorpros are great value.
