Default Stoptech Hat Crack - Any suggestions on the best way to replace?

Just looking to see what the best option is to get these replaced. Mine cracked. Others brands seem to have had some good results going back to manufacturer.

Has any one had a good experience getting replacement hats?

I obtained the following quote from an example reseller on the east coast.
Replacement Rotors 265. Hats, $235.00 each.

$735 in front rotors. ouch.

From i have heard, stoptech does not warranty that stuff. They even have on their website that if you live in a salty road area, they recommend rinsing your brakes often. These hats are known to crack. I think one of mine is cracked too.

Anyway, try http://www.zeckhausen.com/StopTech/consumables.htm

Too bad these are the 355's. I don't feel like buying new wheels. maybe someone else wants them. I'm staying with the 332's.
