I've had them glowing, smoking and they still work great. Couldn't be happier for a standard size replacement rotor. Just make sure you fit good quality pads or you could find your shudder return.Benny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had no signs of shudder and my rotors look like they still have plenty of meat left with 30000k's on them. But this all comes at a price and that's dust. They are dusty but I'm willing to put up with this for the performance.Benny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
