Meh, could be nothing.. but I had em on my old whip '97 Dodge Intrepid, drilled and slotted.. Never rusted, never warpped, but I did get cracking around the drill holes. Faulty batch perhaps?

If you're getting going with a new installation, know that the Toyota oem TT pads are an excellent way to get started. They are highly regarded both here and on SupraForums, and easily handle anything you'd do on the street and are up to HPDE track events a well.

I've got a spare (new) set that I'll sell for $50 plus $5 shipping to lower 48. PM if interested.

Just bought a set for my '06 Durango. Good rotors. I used them on my '01 Saturn L300, '96 Mustang GT and they worked great.
