I mean, come on now. You bought a used car. If everything checked out ok when you bought it, what exactly are you complaining about? That the original owner didn't have a crystal ball to foresee problems in the future?
If the rear end was and is fine when you bought it, what's the problem? If he blew it and and repaired it, so what? These rear ends grenade all the time.

) I'll give a real, complete review when I've gone through them 100% myself.

Dude just go ahead and get them! Don't let one bad apple turn you away from buying them when he didn't even put them on himself. He doesn't know what those brakes have been through and how old they are. The only issue I have with mine is that they sometimes squeak at low speeds, but usually only when there's a lot of moisture in the air.

i agree... and on top of that there is no proof that has been posted that states that those are indeed Brakemotive so i see no reason why he (the op) shouldnt get a set

Like I said, I talked with BrakeMotive. I'm happy with the service received and I did buy anouther set, slotted only. I'd say go with them. Even if you have to replace them twice as often as higher cost rotors (not saying you do), it's probably still cheaper to run BM because they are a hell of a deal.

I think you'all are being naive if you think your cross drilled rotors aren't going to eventually crack over time with some hard braking, it's really just inevitable with a cross drilled rotor IMO. Do a search there's lots of cases of this happening from brakemotive to Brembo, just think about it if you cross drill some holes in any brand of rotor its going to weaken somewhat. If you must have holes in your rotor I'd get one forged with the holes already in it, not one with the holes drilled out.

I have had the slotted only versions on mine for about a year, the hubs are still rust free and they brake smooth. When I received them the fronts were warped and Brake motive sent me a new front pair and had them to my door in 2 days. Honestly when these wear out I will probably buy another set, the price is good and I don't think I have ever heard mine squeak.
Oh and Azar_Hawke, how do you know these are Brakemotive rotors? Not trying to start anything just curious.

Yes. And I posted an apology earlier in the thread. I'm trying not to repeat myself too much, but like I said, I bought a new slotted set from them (because, well, I need brakes). I'll write a complete review in a month or two, and anouther when they are almost gone.

i had the slotted only setup on my 99 t/a for about 6k miles before i sold it and they were great to me and their customer service was on point...
A+ for BrakeMotive and i might be placing another order for my new t/a

The don't sell them in blanks IIRC, try the slotted only like me and ISMELLRICE. You won't have to worry about that problem and they were quick to take care of me when the ones I received were warped.
