My friends got a set, he seems to like them and I think they look great. I'm sure there isn't much performance over stock though.

For the price you can not beat them. Make sure you torque those lug nuts to 100 lb.

Are you serious? These are disc brakes, there is no shoe.

I paid $200+ for mine a few months ago. Still working fine. I brake hard 90% of the time.

I just got these put on and have a few hundred miles on them. They look great and I won't be doing any autocrossing so it's all good for me

I wouldn't get these but I do autox and road race type events. I'm more of a fan of the blank rotors. I'm a follower the theories and threads that people have made against drilled/slotted rotors.

looks like too good of a deal, perhaps they're a new company?? Maybe i'll get myself a set of these for Christmas. I've read some of the reviews and every one seems to be happy with them, so why not give them a shot?

Drill rotors FTL. Nice looking rotor but drilled is not the way to go unless the holes are actually cast in them. Get a few thousand miles on them of braking and check for hair line cracks starting at the drilled spots. I am sure they are great for non agressive drivers.
