I'm was looking for some quality rotors, but an upgrade is always nice.
That said, I can't justify the cost for Brembo's no matter how nice they are... and I've never heard of Rotora until yesterday... and they are half the cost and seem to have a good reputation.
I think most people bag on Brembo's because they can't afford them.
I personally know of one guy who's cracked Brembo's and they are on his modified porsche (sp?) twin turbo and he cracked them on track day at Willow Springs doing 180mph down the front stretch when he nailed the brakes for turn 1.... and he still swears by them.
