Raceconcepts Rotors

i just bought a set of race concept rotors off ebay. I'm not sure of them yet. They look pretty good quality. 150 drill/slotted. If you plan on ordering them they are really slow on delivery. I didn't get them for about 20 days, I was about to get super pissed until I finally got ahold of them and found out when they were shipping them.

I've bought two sets of slotted and cross drilled rotors from ebay, one set from R1 concepts and the other from whoever it was, anyway I had good luck with both, they didnt rust really fast or warp on me

Don't know yet. I'm still working on them, I just did the one side. This was my first EVER attempt at brakes. I've never owned a car long enough to change them. I'm 26 and have owned 22 cars since I was 16.

Just for the record, the front rotors are easy to change... the backs are even easier... as long as the two screws that hold them in don't strip... when they do you have to drill into the middle of them until they get hot and loosen then smack them with a hammer. After that they come right out! Then you'll have to spend 3 hours trying to figure out where to get the screws. Lucky for me they just opened up a speciality tool and hardware store in my home town. They were the only ones that had anything. Autozone, Napa, Lowes, Advanced don't have them so don't even try! I have one side left to do and the center stainless steel brake line and then bleed.
