Has anyone had Rotoras for over a year?
I bought performance cross drilled rotors last July as I was sick of warping OEM rotors. The new rotors and ceramic pads were great for a year... and are now warped! I am a little pissed off... changing rotors every year should not be routine maintenance.
I have heard that some have had problems with Rotoras while other (who have had them less than a year) say they are fine.
Does anyone have have experience with them for more than a year?

mine are the regular rotora slotted rotors with axxis pads. close to 35k miles on them with not one problem yet. i haven't had them a year, but i probably put more miles on my car per year than 75% of the members on here.

And... rotors do sometimes just warp. We have a crappy single piston system... this is my second CL and I had the same problems on both cars. My wheels have always been torqued properly since I had my rotors installed.

lol on this topic, Acura resurfaced my rotors about 2500 miles ago and they have been vibrating for a few weeks now. I have an appt. in the morning to get new ones. As soon as this next set fails I will be going for either the brembo blanks w/ ebc greenstuff or rotora slotted w/ ebc greenstuff.

I have the slotted with the Axxis ultra's. They been on for 65k miles 2 years. Pads are at 75% gone but I drive mostly hw. I just bought some new Axxis Pads and plan on turning the rotors next week. I do preventive changes early. Every thing is fine, don't worry about this type of set up. The braking is excellent but dust is bad. I don't mind it.
