I have to join in with what pretty much everyone said....Put them on in the Spring of 2011, no cracks in rotors, little to no dust with supplied pads and the Zinc coating on the rotor hats still look great and who can complain about the price ?
Would I buy another set when the time comes? You better believe it !

No, but I want to have the stopping power.

But when it comes time for a run and I don't know what kind of turn is on the next corver, I want to be able to stop fast.

From what I been reading on the forum everyone is happy with hawk pads. So now I question if anyone use these rotors with hawk pads.

Like I said earlier in your other post if you want a quality brake pad and rotor. Go with the carbotech 1521 pad good to 900 degrees works from dead cold. This is a low dust performance street pad. As far as rotors get the Centric premium blanks they have slotted as well but I am not a fan of slotted they tend to eat the pad faster. Think of it as a cheese grader on your pads..

None of the above but.........I use it as much as i can and i have been on a few runs with the local Vette Club and we do try to hit some hilly, mountainous roads. No complaints.

I voiced my opinion on how i like the stuff but that doesn't mean you have to take it as gospel. The final decision and choice will be up to you.
