Default Rotors are CRACKING! Need info!!

I bought a full set of drilled and slotted rotors and pads from wholesalepartsdirect.com 2 months ago... put them on less than 3000 miles ago.. and the rears are severely cracked in more than one place! Now their phone number is disconnected, they wont answer my e-mails.. and their "Best warranty in the industry" states later that once they are installed, the warranty is void... HOW THE HELL IS THAT A WARRANTY?!?!?!?!

Any sponsors sell slotted rotors? I wont go back with the drilled ones.... but need these ASAP as I don't need these breaking on me!

PLEASE HELP!

This is the wrong forum, but, my front ones cracked a while back. I sent them to them and they sent me new ones. It took longer than it should have, but I did get new ones. That was a while ago, and the new ones have been fine so far.

I didnt know about the number being disconnected. Sorry about the problems your having. Hopefully you'll get ahold of someone and get them resolved.

EDIT: Was the wrong forum, moved by moderator.

Can a mod move this to the correct forum? I can't just send them back as this is my daily driver... so I will just have to eat the cost I guess... but hopefully there is a sponsor that can help me.
