Those look a lot like the Project Mu rotors... and looking at the price they're probably just a rebadged version. I would almost guarantee that those would work GREAT as long as they aren't meant for the '99 Type R calipers (or whichever are the bigger ones).

If it's 2am (that means it's dark) and triple digit speeds how do you know the roads are clear? Your headlights do not shine that far down the road.

To test to see Damon is correct. Put something in the road like a empty paper bag with something small at the bottom to hold it down so the wind doesn't blow it away. Drive down the road towards the bag at just 100mph and you'll find that you'll barely be able to put your foot on the brake by the time you hit the bag.

It is scary actually.

With good pads and properly working calipers you shouldn't be warping brake rotors. I always used OEM rotors back when I had stock brakes and never had a rotor warping problem even at the race track.

Those are a tremendous ripoff. All they are is a 2-piece version of the stock rotors. No additional heat capacity (they will be a little lighter though). Just get some vented (not cross-drilled, vented) Brembo blanks, you won't get better than that with the stock brakes.

I actually tried that. But with my moms integra. We had a can holding it down... its like the bag appears out of nowhere. Yeah, it is scary. And it was my soda holding it down .
