Experience with LCE rotors

anyone have experience with lce rotors? i need to replace mine and these look good: http://209.250.27.45/m1webgear/Produ...artRevisionID=

these are from LCE and i know lce has good stuff, jsut want to know if these have been tried by anyone.... i dont want to get them if lce uses the $12 napa auto parts solid rotors, then cuts/drills them theirselves and then sells them for $45 each......

I'm sure they're good stuff...they're probably Brembo or some other higher end blanks that they buy bulk and drill/slot em themselves. How much are standard Brembo drilled rotors?

$125 for regular buyers. On brembos of course.

my bad...I thought maybe they made em for your truck too. Vented is almost always better then solid...I'd go with the Brembo vented http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brake...tor&perfCode=P
Drilled/slotted rotors will pick up rocks, dirt, mud etc and chew up your pads, scratch your rotors and make alot of noise...Don't ask me how I know

if it matters, my truck is mainly used on road, and its brakes are severly abused....
i drive my truck hard, and it stops hard too, especially when i load it down with stuff.....

however, when i do take it offroad i play, in everything, sand, mud, rocks, dirt, etc.. and i play hard...


the price for the lce and the brembos from tirerack, are the same.... what i want to know is which is better for my application.... also what pads to use... i plan on ordering these as soon as possible....
