Finally, some good stopping power and no more squeel! You don't realize how large these rotors are when on the car, but in you hands they are massive!

Rotors are nice, very good construction, and a nice weight savings. So far so good!

I was really excited about these and I know all of the benifits involved (lightweight, replaceble rings, better cooling). Despite all that, I think I'm going to stick with the stock rotors for vanity purposes alone. I just think they look so much better, even if they are less functional. That's not to knock your new purchase. It's great to know we have options now for brake parts where we had none before.

Any pics of them prior to installation? Trust they are vented - yes?

They are the same diameter and thickness as stock, no?

Let us know how these hold up over the next few months. If they get around to making a drilled set (just to match the rears), I'd be interested next time I need to replace mine (if I don't spring for the C6 rotors w/adaptors).

Same diameter, 365mm, but 6.5lbs lighter per corner. JHM won't offer drilled, they only offer plain or slotted. They firmly beleive in the larger surface area and don't like drilled due to possible cracks forming.

I thought the same thing when I saw these.

Any update on these? I am considering them since it will only cost about 2-300 more from OEM all around.

You will have to ask CHUNG as he currently has P3U's sold RS6...
