What about Raybestos rotors?

Do you guys have any opinions on the quality of Raybestos Brute Stop rotors for a J65 car?

Thanks.

I had the Raybestoes Brute Stop rotors with Brute Stop pads on my "deceased" Firebird and they were awesome! They came Cross-Drilled and Slotted, Races already installed, and the car stopped better than a 4th Gen! (At least by my observations...)

Bottom line, I was very satisfied with the product on my F-Body.

Raybestos stuff is usually made in US or Canada and the quality is great. They're worth the investment of a few extra $$ over the Mexico/China crap.

The group I do time trials with won't allow slotted/drilled rotors unless they were a factory option, so I haven't used BruteStops. I do stick with the regular Raybestos PG pieces and they haven't let me down.

I use Raybestos rotors almost exclusively, good quality at a reasonable price. Plus, the Brute Stop rotors are very easy on the eyes. Here's a shot of them, C4 HD style:

Buy a new rotor and cut it down to the hub.

What Justin said...I haven't found any used 1LE rotors out there, so believe it or not I just destroy new ones.
