First off, I would like to welcome our latest club supporter Richard from Rotor Pro's to the site!
Second, here is the deal on the group purchase or whatever you want to call it.
RotorPros.com Slotted and Dimpled Rotors
Cross Drilled and slotted rotors improve your stopping power while adding great custom looks. All rotors are Zinc-Sliver plated so they will not rust like your stock rotors. Braking temperatures are decreased by up to 250 degrees providing quicker and firmer brakepad gripping.
All 4 rotors for only $230
If you want them painted add: $40 (you can see a pict of the painted rotors below)
Shipping is $30, however since he is so close to my office I can pick them up for you and give them to you at a meeting.
IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THIS PRICE YOU WILL NEED TO MENTION SOCALLOC
You can also get them cross-drilled and slotted or just slotted.

Chris,
He has been very responsive the few times that I have emailed him or called him. Hopefully he'll work it out and hook you up! :tu:

Chris,
Those are sweet, no paint for you? I may have to pick up a set to have on hand. Mine Are still relatively new but this appears to be a deal that can't be ignored. What pads do you plan on using with them?

I talked to richard about the paint, and he mentioned that it will eventually flake off, so I decided against it.
I think I'm gonna go with the Hawk HPS pads.

I was wondering about the paint. That solves it for me, no paint. I agree with the Hawk choice. Don't they have three or more types of pads available? Gets confusing when I start reading about what everyone else has done and why. Less dust, no, no, less fade, no no, ceramic heat problems, no, no. It goes on and on.

ok, I guess I misunderstood him on the paint flaking. Here is what he told me to clarify things:
The paint doesn't flake off, it just comes off where the rim touches the rotor hubs. Once the rim is re-applied it is not noticeable!!! Sorry about mis-leading you!!!
So with that said, I'd say go for the painted look! It looks awesome!
qk01lightning: email richard about this, and he will hook you up. He metioned that he is on the road a lot, and doesn't answer his phone when driving. Hope this helps!

Question for the Gen 1 guys... Are your discs the same as the regular 93-95 f150 discs? I'm trying to see if he sells those as well.

Okay, so I ordered the set of rotors and they are being painted. I am going to ask you (Chris) to pick them up for me when they are ready. (please) Besides me, you will be the first to know what color I picked.
Got me some Hawk pads and some ss brake lines a pressure bleeder and trying to decide on which fluid.
Thanks :D

Another question... Do the Gen 1's have front and rear disc brakes?

Be cautious...........Bought Rotors from this company and less than 3000 miles on them and they started to crack at the crossed drills. called the company and they said that they knew of this problem and there was nothing they can do. They wouldnt replace them and I had them less than 3 months. They said that they would just sell me new ones at cost. They crack easy. I was not driving hard either. Less than 20-30 miles a day to and from work. I had no time to drive the hell out of my car. So word of caution the rotors crack easy be careful.......

Thats why I never buy cross drilled rotors, slotted only if anything!

Do not buy these rotors.......... They crack easy, and rotorpro will not replace them. I bought a these rotors and in less than 3 months of San diego driving, 2 out of 4 cracked. Im am not even hard on them, I just drive to and from the base. Unless they change there exchange or refund policy I highly recomend you do not buy these rotors!!!! :mad: !!

I have had mine for 6 months or so now, they have survived 2 track days and 1 set of severly cooked hawk hps pads (pads cracked and basicly turned to dust), they have yet to show any signs of cracking. daily pads are he aake' bono carbon ceramic in the front and performance street pads in the rear. The HPS were run on 1 track day and could not hold up. i an happy with mine and they still look good, if you are that hard on your brakes order dimpled and slotted or slotted only you will be fine. my drilled and slotted are doing fine for now though.

I am sure your case was unique. We have been in business for over 4 years!! Do you think we would be in business if all our rotors cracked?? I really recommend "NOT" using ceramic pads when using our rotors. Those pads are too rough. Thanks
