    We just got some in at work, they look pretty nice and my rotors are horrible right now.

    Think its worth it? ~~$40 a rotor

    Id buy em, but really any new premium rotor will work.

    We dont need silly drilled and slotted rotors on a family car.

    And get some Adaptive One pads, they are great.

    i'm home now not at work, don't know if we sell those pads never heard of em. i was gonna give ceramic pads a go next time i needed em, just to try them. i know there's no big difference other than they produce less dust and noise lol

    and the High Carbon rotors are replacing our premium rotors entirely. our brand at least.
