Thank you for the kind words!

I want to say the set of 4 weigh about 50 lbs. We have heard very good feedback in regards to these rotors, and for the price you just can't go wrong!

Wow some of you are sure quick to jump the gun. These rotors are great just do a quick search and you will be overwhelmed with threads about these!! The guys at Maperformance are great guys to deal with and the have strangely fast shipping!!! I swear the must have used teleportation to get my clutch,flywheel, and braided line to me. I ordered it on a wed around 3pm and it was at my house the next afternoon . Only paid regular shipping too!! Just be sure and get the right pad for your application and you will be very happy!!

At the moment I don't know if Rotorpro will offer a blank rotor, but let me check into it for you.

Unless you are going to aluminum center section what is the point of expensive iron rotors. Brake Planet is about $40 each for a front OEM type rotor shipped out of Cali. I'm in Fla and paid $120 shipped for a front pair ($40 shipping charge).

yea, but if we want to compare apples to apples, brake planet's drilled / slotted rotors are the exact same price......the blank ones are 100 dollars less...

so rotor pro guy!....please tell me if there are any other differences you can tell between your slotted rotors and the brake planet rotors....materials....tolerances?

even if there are none, i'm buying yours because i saw you guys first and your on evolutionm....but i'm just curious...


but also.....please enlighten me.....is anybody here (rotor pros, brake planet) using aluminum centers, or no?......is that what 2 piece rotors are?
