Hit, just make sure you get the zinc, or cad. coated so the hats don't rust -

Default Have them on my allroad for 10k or so no warp. Great for street apps some concern on cracking at

track though.

Why are you doing drilled? Go with flat.

You have huge ballz running drilled at the track. Scary business.

Default I am running Zimmerman fronts, but plain (no slots or holes), and they are fine...

...I agree with A6sport about the zinc or cadmium coating. Unfortunately, ECS does not carry the zinc coating for the rotors with the correct hat offset for my car, so they are rusty looking. I will probably paint the hats in the spring when it is a bit warmer out.

I have been running with them on my car now for the last 15k miles and they still feel good.

Testicular geometry aside, I don't track it. Sorry if it read like I did.
