If you off road at all, drilled rotors are bad news. Mud can get stuck in the holes and cause brake fade. You're better off with a dimpled rather than drilled design. And I second Sloppyjoe on the cheap stuff. No cheap stuff on my Rover, especially not where it comes to keeping my wife from eating a Mini Cooper when she steals it.

Gentlemen, This is a canadian mfg company outside of toronto.

For 2 front rotors at $ 75.00, it may be worth a try. Their manufacturing process is no different than the boutique brands.

Worst case, they wear out in 60 K Miles. I might try two on my 2001 for the heck of it.

i like boutique brands. they are tried and true.

EBC and BREMBO are 2 of the best brake companies in the world, there is a reason for that. and it has nothing to do with price point.
