There was a guy selling rotors, pads, calipers, shoes... at the Tulare event. I forgot the name of the company, but there's an article in this (or the next) TDR. It sounded very positive. No fade, more grip as they get hotter, longer life, etc.

Anybody else try them? I think it was a bit less than $1,000 for the whole deal.

Do to the fact that my rotors would warp sitting in the driveway(it seemed so anyway), I spent the money on the slotted rotors and kevlar pads from EGR(Advertised in last issue). I wish I had found them 6 years earlier. They brake straight and true, and they do seem to get "sticky" as they heat up.

Bill,
I've had them on for 40K now and I use a BD 4" Brake at all times too. They are as good as they are claimed. Lots of the NAPA stuff is. I like NAPA, they have things that the other places look at you crosseyed when you ask about them.
