I'm about to do brakes and wanted your input on these rotors alone... I have Stoptech pads on the way but wanted to see if you thought the OEM rotors are worth the extra coin? I'll be doing a few track days throughout the year and plenty of aggressive street driving. Thoughts?

So far, I see no advantage to the OEM rotors. These seem to be very good clones of the OEM. I cannot vouch for the metallurgy of course. I could buy several sets of these for the price of one OEM set.

I bought new OEM front rotors from Lexus of Dayton for less than $300/each about 6 months ago.

Wow...great timing Larrysb, I might need new rotors soon as well. Good to know that these are on par with the oem rotors with a much lower price tag.Please do get back to us on how they perform in the long term though.

Quiet as a mouse on my new front brakes. Centric rotors and Carbotech bobcat pads. Been about a month and no problem whatsoever.

Rotators? You mean rotors? BTW, guess what - the rotors don't stop the car and changing them will not change your ability to stop nor will it shorten your stopping distance. You might like the feel better, but they don't stop any quicker than OEM.
