My 2004 Z06 was in need of new rotors and pads - I dont track my car but do drive fairly aggressive so I was doing some research and emailed several vendors. I did not want drilled only slotted and did not want to pay a fortune. Decided I would try Brakenetic which I believe are rebranded Centrics. Anyway, I emailed them and they replied very quickly - we agreed on a price and I ordered a set. Received them in two days and mounted them with a set of PFC Carbon Metallic front pads and Akebono rears.
They are labeled as G3500 Iron with an E Coating on the hats and vanes.
First impression was that the rotors seemed nicely machined- all were true and the finish looked good. I did not weigh them.
Have put on just under 500 miles and they seem to be wearing well - There is no pulsating when brakes are applied - I guess time will tell but just thought I would throw this out there.
As far as the pads, I am very impressed with the stopping power - i was concerned about having to heat up the pads but the cold bite is pretty aggressive and she stops well. No noise at all.
Anybody else have some experience with these rotors?
What was the price? I typically use the KNS house brand rotors on my track car since they are $250 for a set of all 4 and last all season. Curious how these differ.

He charged me just under $375 for the set of 4 but that was with a 10% discount -I looked at KNS - their blanks rotor set is $250 but their slotted is $550 which is why I looked elsewhere -
Slotted are just for looks. I run the blanks on track without issue, but if you want the look of the slots I can see why you wanted something different.
Thanks for the review. I had nevr heard of these. I've been happy with my Powerstop Z23 rotors. However, it's nice to have choices. Be sure to update us on how they're doing in a few thousand miles.

I used to love the Powerstops as well - few years ago, I installed them on my Truck (2017 Colorado ZR2) - Z36 package - I started getting hairline cracks around the holes on all four rotors- no bueno.
