Benefits over stock brakes....Slotted or crossdrilled rotors do not aid cooling, as is popular belief...They simply allow the brakes to operate properly at significantly higher temps than the stock set up...Gas produced by binding resins in the friction material are adequately removed from between the pad and rotos and the surface of the pad remains free of dust and debris. Slotted rotors tend to last longer than crossdrilled rotors, but crossdrilled rotors are prefered by many as far as asthetics go. The pads that I offer are the best in the business...tried and tested...and I also have Stainless braided brake lines if anyone is interested

A lot of people have problems with brake dust, including myself. Do your brakes help with this?

According to your website, you use Axxis Ultimate Kevlar/Ceramic Pads and Axxis Metal Master Pads. Since your link to domestic applications seems to be limited to trucks, does the Axxis Ceramic Pads work with your rotors on the GT. If so, what is the price for the slotted rotors and the Ceramic pads (F&R) for the GT?

Do your rotors exhibit the nasty rust problem that DCX has with the standard rotors?

Warranty?

Inquiring minds want to know.

As far as brake dust goes, I have a Posiquiet pad that performs very well with less dust than most. The Axxis Metal Masters will generate dust as they are a pad designed with performance in mind rather can keeping the wheels clean. I do not have the Axxis Ultimates for this application, sorry, and they are not the pad for people concerned with dust...your wheels will be black in a week.
As far a rust on the rotors, my rotors all have a black high temp "E" coating on them to prevent rust....even the vanes are coated. The warranty on my rotors is very limited due to the fact that it is rather difficult to control the use and installation of performance parts. Most of the time, performance parts are abused and generally that is the cause of their failure. I can assure you that if they are installed correctly and not glowing red everytime the vehicle is driven, there will be no problems. "Warping" is very seldom an issue. I had one complaint but I walked him through the installation of the next set, and there are no more problems. I am a reasonable individual, if there is a problem, I'll do what I can to make it right.
