WDP Rotor update?
I've had my rotors from WDP for over a month now and they are holding up very well! I'm happy with them so far. What has everyone else experienced??? Thoughts or concerns etc???? Thanks

This picture was taken last week, the car is seven years old and has 62,000 miles on it... the rotors are five years old and have 55,000 miles on them...Baer 2 piece Eradispeeds.

Thanks for the public service announcement. When it comes time, I'm going to spend the money and do it right. Brakes are NOT a component of the car that you want to take ANY chances with.
In fact, stopping is a lot more important to me than acceleration when push comes to shove.
Sometimes, when a "deal" seems too good to be true, there's a reason.

Hey Bill (or anyone else), what's the difference between Baer 2 piece Eradispeeds and 1 piece Eradispeeds? I haven't seen the 2 piece for sale and don't quite understand what that means, exactly. You've got the rotor. That's one piece. What's the second part?

Understand??
The One piece eradispeed is a full cast iron rotor, it has a baer claw vane design for cooler temps.. the eradispeed rotors also has a thicker fire path , while they are slightly heavier than stock, they are beefy enough to withstand more heat and the tendency to warp..
