RotorsPro??

I have done a few searches and am still not sure yet on what way to go. Am looking to upgrade the brakes on my "L" but am not wanting to go with $1500-$2500 on a setup. I have heard of RotorsPro and see that they are cheaper....want to hear what you think of them and/or your experiences. Thanks.

I have HEARD that the dimpled/slotted rotors are okay..but the crossdrilled ones are prone to crack. BTW...yours look awesome!

They sure look great and I'm sure they are fine for daily driving or at a drag strip, but have you done any Auto-X or track days with them?
I wondering if they (especially the bolts) will stand rapid high speed cornering…

Nope, I dont participate in Auto-X so I cant comment on them in that environment.

But for a stock replacement they are great and with the Hawk pads they stop MUCH better than stock.

KB ZILLA--Can you please list the part # for the pads. The guys at Pep Boys get all confused when you mention F-150 Lightning to them for a part #. Also, what caliper paint is that? Thanx Ron
