HEY OP - need to know the status of these rotors please... how are they holding up? any problems? my back brake pads are on the metal, and i need to change them out in the next 2 or 3 days tops... rotors need replacing too, so i'm going to be purchasing these... or the GM slotted.
need to know your opinions on these after having them for a few months now.

Im not the OP, but I've got the same Brand Rotors just not Drilled - Slotted Only w/ HP+ Front and HPS Rears, and so Far there AWESOME. No complaints at all... I've done some heavy braking, and the response, and feel is great. Have not seen the track yet, but in the Canyons, there is def. a noticeable difference.

I have them too. Only driven about 3000km since I've had them on ( about 7 monthes), but they are great so far. |

Sorry been working 12+ hour days. So far soo good. been beating on them as much as i can without going to the track. I agree with CtsVrod, feel alot more bite. But i still wanna get them red hot before i giv a real report. I just now saw another member with problems with them. I'll give them a call and see if they can do something for him. | | Cadillac Discussion Tools | | |
