BRAKE PERFORMANCE Rotors & Pads
http://brakeperformance.com/brake-ro...ake-Rotors.php
I installed these dimpled and slotted rotors from Brake Performance, and I am very happy with the results. Unfortunately, I also purchased their premium ceramic pads. I was skeptical of the quality even before I put them on (the backing plate was free floating on the pad assembly), and I should have sent them back. Needless to say, they were extremely noisy so I replaced them with the Hawk ceramics, and all is well. Here's the bottom line. The Brake Performance rotors are great...the pads, not so much. If you're thinking about these rotors, I highly recommend them, but go with Hawk for the pads.

They've only been on the car for a couple of thousand miles, but so far-so good.
I've had a lot of experience with cross-drilled and slotted rotors on other vehicles, but these dimpled rotors seem to be a little quieter. Just make sure you don't waste your money on their pads.

I have the same rotors and they've been on my car for about 3000 miles. No problems. I didn't bother ordering pads from them because I knew I wanted the Hawk ceramic pads.
