Clarification here!

Just wondering if anyone has heard of this outfit. The site looks legit. I know there has been a lot of talk about Brembo's high prices on slotted or drilled rotors. But, to my knowledge, no other company like Rotora, has made direct replacements yet. Any opinions?

First off, Thank you for taking the time to respond to this thread. Can I ask, how you know about the interior hub design, and if it is not the same as the Brembo made rotors, what would be the consequences of using these rotors. Degradation in braking performance, breaking or cracking, cooling, what would happen? Do you know anything about the quality of the steel? I do love the Brembos, but am looking for a little Bling/Bling.
Thanks Again.
BTW, I have found the Brembo rotors that Tire Rack sells, at other sites at lower prices, $50.00 to $60.00 Lower.

Yes China
If you don't mind I would like to see the photo.
I did phone the folks at Performance Plus Rotors and spoke to a technical person. What I found out was:
1. The drilled rotors are not really drilled, but only dimpled. The holes don't go through. I was happy to hear this, because of the cracking issue.
2. The picture you see in the add is a generic brake, and not the Brembo model. They say the vent vanes are indeed curved.
3. The Brembo rotor is one of their most expensive ones, because of the design.
With hearing all the above I'm not sure what I will do now.
Food for thought

Nissan OEM Track rotor - rear
Overall view of Nissan OEM Track rear rotor. Also sculpted like front, but not nearly as smoothly so. An additional observation I noted was that the internal vanes are not continuous but are short blades that are staggered - i.e. none of the internal vanes is continuous from the hub to the circumference. Neither Nissan OEM Track front and rear rotors were this way.

you guys know that stoptech got stage 2 rotor upgrades for non-brembo cars.
they have the options for slotted or drilled rotors.
PM me if you are interested in getting them. I have them on my car.
They are nice and priced right.

Thanks China - Now I understand. You were right, a picture is worth a thousand words, sometimes a lot more.
Now that I can describe it, I'll check back with Performance Plus Brakes.
Thanks Again

Well I had a group buy going but its gone. I dunno why but the mods took it off. Its also posted on the G35driver site. It would have been nice for the mods to let me know why it was taken off before they pulled it.

The brakes look good and the price is definitely right. I dont know why brake rotors are so damn expensive. It seems ridiculous to charge over 300$ for two hunks of cast iron.
I will be considering these guys when it comes time to change out my rotors
