Does Brake Performance have good Rotors?

Just wondering if the rotors from this site,

http://brakeperformance.com/site/bra...oogle.shopping

are going to be good rotors for my E55? Has anyone bought from them before? If so, I'd like to here some feedback. Thanks in advance.

interesting...I'd like to know some feedback also...anyone been able to find a reasonably priced set of front and rear 2 piece rotors for our AMG brakes? I know evorsport sells a rotor pair kit but it's pretty $$$, wondering what else is out there...

That was my major concern as well.

So I take it there's no one that has had any prior experience with them?

I bought a complete set of pads and rotors for my 2001 Jetta Wolfsburg. Car stops great, a lot better than before. low dust pads and the rear pads were free. Drilled and slotted a bit noisy, sounds like crickets while braking.

im doing the Evosport rotors . for the money u will gain performance in the weight savings dept / rotating mass savings and u will have better braking .

So now tell me is the 1600 for the set too pricey????????????

Evosport doesn't make these rotors they source them...and the markup on them is very high IMO...looking at the many suppliers to race cars that people club race, or even to teams....companies such as Stoptech, KVR brakes, Brembo, AP Racing, or Alcon all of whom offer 2 piece floating rotors also offer more competative pricing. You will have lighter rotor leading to less unsprung weight, but you will not have better braking per se.

you wont notice the weight savings unless you are looking for 10ths on a road course.

The evosport rotors look awesome. 34lbs is a huge savings on rotational mass, I say go for it. rmember it's your baby, buy her some jewelry:-)
