2-piece slotted rotor.

they are a rip-off, sure they may look cool & weigh less, but why would I pay $1,600 for just rotors?

beyond just the high price, from a machine and engineering standpoint the slot design is all fail. I would get them for either a show only car that would barely be driven, or a track only car you're willing to risk losing, because slotting should only be done with a ball end mill those are squared forming stress risers in the corners that are HEAVILY crack prone. then they mill pockets into these edges in order to make them more crack prone? I'd be weary of them and i'll wait for a better set that is slotted only, and slotted right

Did you just start typing from what you think or what you know? Have you read their site to see their methodolgy?

I said I'd be weary of them and i am. no one here has had direct experience with the rotors, and everything i mentioned is true. There are a lot of stress points in those rotors that you don't see in any other rotors on the market. But who knows with the price they're charging for those babies they may be made out of magic space shuttle metal that that is also superman laser eye resistant.
