heard good things about the pads, not the rotors....
powerslot is a better value....but the kvr rotors ive only heard mediocre remarks about their cross drilled rotors, havent heard anything about the slotted
*note though: slotted rotors do not improve the braking performace of an every day street driven car.....better off going with a brembo blank or something

I drove with KVR cross drilled rotors and their Carbon fiber pads all summer (+/- 20 000 km) AND THE PADS SUCK! No bite at all, very soft and very quick fading. The quick fading kept heating up the rotors during hard driving, up to the point where I could smell it in the car, and they never showed any sign of cracking or warping. The zinc treatment holds up good, no rust outside the pad zone. Brembo plains or slotted with Hawk HP+ pads is the best!

Rep Power: 368 How are the Hawk HP's for dust? My beautiful rimmies must have minimum brake dust, lest I fly into an Incredible-Hulk-like rage and start bashing windows with a parking meter I ripped from the sidewalk.
