I recently bought some dimpled-slotted rotors from them. As for their quailty, they are OK but what can you expect for $200 for both front and rear rotors.

I had Rotora Slotted before and when I compare the two, Rotora's are better quality/made rotors. Also the rotors from Rotor pros are made in Taiwan. I know this because they get their rotors from Centric and I had their rotors before.

If I were you, just spend more money and buy some DBA rotors from Gripforce on Ebay.

$219 including shipping for the front ones and $199 for the rear.

I saw them in person because they are close by and they are very very good quailty rotors. I should have spent more money and bought those instead. Other places are selling the same rotors for over $600 for all 4. $400 for both front and rear is a very reasonable price for very well made rotors.

When or if these rotors from Rotor pro's get warped, I am going to buy DBA's since most places will not turn slotted or drilled rotros. Once the rotors are warped, they are history.

Just my opinion.

Also, just to make sure, I have no relations with Gripforce. I just bought some items from them before including my Endless Vita Nuvoa Pads.

Thanks a lot for the quick response guys! For those who have purchased from them, just out of curiosity, which did you get? Slotted, drilled, or both? Thanks!

One more thing. As for warpping rotors, it really depends on what kinda pads you are using also.

Hawk HPS warpped my Rotora slotted rotors so I had to get them resurface.

If you use pads that are for track or aggressive street, you are more likely to wrap rotors.

I use to have Project Mu B-Force pads and now I have Endless Vita Nuova.

Both are very good pads.
