Rotoworks rotors ws6store
WS6 Store has a set of 4 rotors zinc, cross drilled, slotted, for $169. Has anyone ever used these rotors? And has anyone even heard of rotoworks? I dont want to find out they are crap after I get them. I know 4 rotors for that price seems to good to be true, but could it be a good deal?
I think the company could be called roto tech too.

I have them I've put about 2K on them, they look real nice. I also use the hawk pads with them. I am really impressed with them rotors. I put them on expecting to take them right off and have to replace them, but they work great. I have done several 100mph+ stops and no warping. worth the money IMO

With what I've learned about cross-drilling rotor fatigue cracks I've steered away from that idea and considering just slotted or slotted/dimpled. PowerSlots are expensive and not worth it for just replacing my stock LT1 rotors. Would like to upgrade the entire setup one day for Willwoods, Baer, etc. But meantime I'm trying to find something that would hold me over. Found these tonight on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/93-94...ayphotohosting and they sound nice for the price, especially with Zinc coating included & they have slotted/dimpled vs crossdrilled. Let me know what you guys think?

Honestly BRETTINATOR, I dunno. They might be quality components, but I think the old addage "You get what you pay for" might hold true.
Not saying these units are ****, being I have no first-hand experience with these. But I think the quality you get going w/ a Baer or Wilwood setup will blow setups like this out of the water. For ~$200 it might be worth a shot tho. Its not like you'll be out the same coin like you would w/ a Baer or Wilwood setup.
There's only one way to find out how these units perform...

Baer is crap...I put Baer crossdriled and slotted all the way around on my Silverado and all the rotors are cracked as hell. I should have just flushed the $450 a pair down the toilet. They won't warranty them because the aren't "warped". This are just little cracks either, we're talking cracks all the way through...and now they make a grinding noise when coming to a stop.

I bought 4 when they were on sale for $149 bucks, but they're just for looks. So far so good, no cracks. PBR is an Austrailian company that makes the calipers for the F-Bodies and is related to BAER brakes.
