Has anyone ever hear of this company? They have reasonable prices and they also offer a lifetime warranty on cross drilled and slotted rotors. I think they would be a pretty nice set up on the MM. Again has anyone ever heard of this company? I hope I posted link correctly!! Thanks!!

They say their stuff is electronically balanced, which if true is better than most of the crap (like the rotor pros drilled/slotted/cad plated stuff) out there, esp. on Ebay.

Subscribing....I need to get the brakes done on my MM and that looks like a great price.

I have Power Slot Cryo-Frozen rotors and Hawk pads up front...
I'm not thrilled with cross drilling on a street car. Don't see the need.

They work very well, and the squeak is gone since I slathered on the brake quiet ( Hawk pads can be noisy) when I put the QA1shocks on up front.

I have also gotten a HUGE increase in braking power with the addition of a Vacuum cannister on the brake booster line.

BUT::::: BIG BRAKES are on my list.

Will the vacume cannister do any good on a N/A MM or is it just for you lucky BASTARDS with boost. Keep this thread going I in the market for brakes but I can not do BIG brakes because of the $$$$

Re: the OP's inquiry about brakeplanet.com, I found a rather troubling entry in Ripoffreport.com about at least one guy who had a cracked rotor within 1000 miles of use and it took months to get a refund. I bought the NAPA's today, we'll see how they work out and go from there.

Don't think it would hurt at all, only help.
