Rotora or iRotors

Hey was sup guys,

Im in need of new rotors because as we all know, the stock ones suck and mine have warped. I've been debating on which rotors to get and have come down to the Rotoras being offered in the groupbuy section or a set of iRotors I can get off of ebay. I will be using EBC greenstuff pads. I am curious of the experience you guys have had with each set of rotors and even the pads.

Thanks in advance for all you help!!

Looks good. How long have you had them on?? I was reading another thread and someone stated that after one year they started to rust around the hub area.

No cracks yet from these, somewhere around 70-75k miles on them

as for the rust, yea there is a litte around the hub. That doesnt matter though. its just cosmetic and doesnt effect anything. Its not flaky or any thing, just that color

Do you get any squealing or any other noises due to the drilled holes?

no squeeling, that would be due to the pads. as for noises, some times you will get a weird ticking/swooshing sound when hot from the slots, but thats a normal thing with slotted rotors. Its the slots cleaning the pads and isnt horrible sounding to bystanders like squeeling pads
