The benefit stems from the slots and dimples


Anyway I paid $425.00 and could not pass up the deal. I will weigh them myself before i install them to confirm.
So you paid $425 for used OEM rotors that Granatelli resurfaced, drilled, and slotted? If you're happy about that that's all that matters. Personally I wouldn't trust a rotor that was drilled after-the-fact, way too big of a chance of it cracking because of it. That and the fact that they are used rotors is a little iffy already - I mean who knows how much life is left on them, they've already been resurfaced once. Can't imagine getting much life out of them to be honest.



Wilwoods were quoted to me at $4557 front and rear in Red or Black
If they gave you color options then that quote includes Wilwoods 6 piston calipers, so it's not just the rotors.


Tried to PM you but it would not work. Are you another victum of GMS or just following that other thread. I tend to want to hear from the real customers not the hear-say
I have space in my Inbox, so don't know why it wouldn't let you PM me - but I bought Granatelli's wires on the claim (and supposed proof) that they increased hp - funny how convincing a few dyno graphs can be. They were absolutely complete junk - barely lasted 3 months before falling apart on me. I didn't bother to try and get a refund, just cut my losses.


Well I just read this and it makes a lot of sence if you save 23lbs all around but it was hard to beat the $420 price for all 4. Plus on the surface their website does not really make it easy to see the 2010-2013 stuff for the camaro. Love the 23 save though - thats huge
