Rotors - DRT - Who's heard of them or any experiences?

I know the popularity on these boards is Brakemotive, Stoptech, Powerslot, and blah blah...but I came accross this site and was wondering if anyone had any experience with their rotors.

They state they use Brembo or Centric Blanks and they drill and slot the rotors and use some Noise Canceling technique called NRT that reduces/eliminate the humm or whirling noise people experience with drilled and slotted rotors.

Any comments?

Just so you know there are different Centric rotors. STOPTECH starts out with the Centric premium rotors or in some cases uses their own special alloy for their rotors. Centric sometimes offers a cheaper disc so basically you'll get a nice looking disc that isn't as durable. Better to stick with what you know will work.

Yeah im basically torn between these and the brakemotive package. Seems like good price point. Atleast they are made from a known brand.

I just had time to do some more googling. Basically they have 2 grades. Made from either Centric Economy rotors or Centric Premium Grade. Centric Premium rotors are the suppliers for stoptech and powerslot. So essentially they are all the same rotors.

The DRT adds some fancy/bogus/who knows technology called noise reduction. Basically claiming they reduce the brake hum and noise by applying special angles to their slots to cancel out the frequencies during rotation. Again who knows if this is just fluff. Their hubs are also powder coated black and can be customed for other colors if you desire.

But the cost for a set of 4, (Front and Rear) is basically $260 shipped. At this price its only $100 bux more than the brakemotive deal and I think $100 is a fair amount to pay for peace of mind and for the same product as Powerslot, Stop Tech and R1 Concepts rotors.

This is my thought process.. someone else can chime in if they feel differently.

brokemotive comes with front and rear pads doesn't it?

does the DRT rotor set include front and rear pads? If not, you're looking at a extra ~$100 for that.

You're right. Didn't think of that. Basically it's $200 more for this option then.
