Default OCAutosports Cliffhanger rotors. Anyone got these?

I am planning to replace my pads + rotors pretty soon and still deciding which rotors to get. I have Brembo brake calipers and the OEM rotors from Nissan are crazy price

I checked on R1concepts and there Premium line rotors are $400+. I then found another site which offer some good rotors for $248 shipped all four http://www.ocautosports.com/ListItems/Flag/Flag10.aspx.

Anyone run these set up and got any reviews for them? That price for all 4 is hell of a deal! I found a review from g35drivers and nothing but good thing for it. (http://g35driver.com/forums/brakes-s...ke-rotors.html)

Thanks for the help!

Never heard of these. After a little research, they do not manufacture their rotors from scratch. From their site:

http://www.ocautosports.com/Content/About-Us.aspx

"We drill, slot and plate all of our own brake rotors to your specific specifications. We offer braking products from companies that are strategically aligned with our vision and can provide products that meet our stringent manufacturing and performance criteria."


Layman's translation:

We buy rotors in bulk from whomever will sell them to us cheapest. We haven't done any performance testing on these rotors, which is obvious because if we had we would have posted the results and used it as a marketing tool. Since the odds are in our favor that these rotors wont break (or brake, ZANG!), we just throw jargon around like "our technical engineering team" to put the unsuspecting buyer at ease.


I'm obviously being harsh, and don't have anything to back my "translation" up. Moral of the story: you get what you pay for, caveat emptor. Give them a call and ask who supplies their blank rotors.



Look into Centric premium rotors if you want to get quality rotors for an affordable price.

They supply Stoptech (and others I would imagine).

If your not going with Stoptech's i would pony up for the R1 premiums. Your still getting rotors for alot less than any 2-peice. I just ordered a set of these myself. Alittle cheaper than Stoptech but you know your getting a rotor from Centric, so basically same thing but cheaper.

In fact they just came today, they look f'in beautiful...

good info from OC Autosports cliffhanger rotors from the G35driver forum. Many users over there have them and no problem so far! I'll get a pair of those soon and post some review afterward.

Make sure to track them (autoX and DE if you can) and let us know how they hold up.

Ive had these on my G35 coupe w/oem brembos for about 2 years now with no complaints. I got the cross drilled only with black zinc coating. They did raise their prices though since i bought mine
