It's amazing how many you see that are backwards. The vanes should pull air away from the hub.

I remember reading some posts about sportbrakes.com a while back. Has anyone ordered Rotors and Pads from them and are you pleased with the product?
Their prices are great and I hope they're not too good to be true..................I'm looking at the slotted/dimpled rotors and it seems they only have one kind of pad.

Only other problem I had was that the left/right marks on the boxes were incorrect, lucky I checked the vane direction before installing.
I haven't yet got enough miles on them to say whether they last well long term or not.

I have about 6k on mine, slotted/dimpled. Still look brand new. If I was to do it again I would go with just slotted and eliminate the potential for cracking around the Holes/dimples.
Just my .02. Good luck.

First off their customer service sucks. Secodly, I had one split completely in half with less than 500 miles on it and they wouldn't back there product up. Buyer beware! Sometimes you get what you pay for, unfortunately I had to learn the hard way!

I've had their rotors on for about 30,000 miles they do eventually rust, I took mine off and cleaned off the rust. I painted over their coating with high temp silver with a clear coat, they never looked better.

Do they also rust along the outside edges? Not just the hub..
Are they zinc coated?
I still have on the stock ones at 28k, and I noticed they havent rusted at all. (Yet.. heheh.)

Bought a set of D/S a few months ago (using GM ceramic). Happy with them, and they were zinc coated.
