We had you all in mind for these:

Reduces brake temperatures - increase pad and rotor durability, decreasing fade, and decreasing operating cost.

These cost about 4x as much as the rotors I currently use (Centric). Would they last at least 3x as long? If so, then they'll get some serious consideration.

I agree. If someone can show that these rotors last 2-3x longer than oem blanks from centric or napa and perform better, I'm in.

For people that have gone the distance of routing ducting, that ducting will be useless on these bad boys.

I wouldn't say the ducting would become useless, maybe less efficient but any air to help cool the brakes will still help.

aren't all brake mods a free point mod in virtually every series? I thought it was, which is why I ordered StopTechs... [confused now]

Yea, I guess the holes in the hub area will allow some air to flow to the vanes but definitely not ideal.
Definitely a nice rotor and it would be nice if someone did a temp test on them or at least see someone that kills rotors test these to see if they last longer.

I'm a big fan of RacingBrake two piece rotors. I was cracking stock rotors every other weekend and now get a full season on one set of RBs.

No, many classes require stock calipers. Most allow aftermarket 2-pc rotors tho.

SCCA stock class allows liners, but no drilled/slotted rotors. The street touring class, allows better rotors and ducting. Street Prepared allows caliper upgrades. Just checked the 2011 rules.
