Anybody have autospec. cross drilled rotors?

If so do they stay that gold color? Or does the color wear away?

Had them - took them off after 6K - warped horribly. Others have had similar experiences. The best set of rotors I've ever had is my current set. Autozone 26$ ones with NAPA ceramic pads.

I have had mine on since September of 2001 and almost 20k miles with no problems. They are the longest lasting rotors I have had. I used the VAX pads and make sure the my wheels get hand torqued. I can't say why others have had bad luck with them and then others with good results.

Thanks for the info.

I have them with ceramic pads, horribly warped.

After how long?

I first noticed the bit of steering wheel shake after about 5000 miles, but it was mild. After 15,000 it was pretty bad, and now I've had them for maybe 30,000 and it's freakin aweful. When the cash flow starts coming, I'm just going to get bigger wheels and brakes.

I was told not to use ceramic pads with the Autospecialty rotors.

That's what I was told, about 3 months too late. :-(

I was thinking of using ceramics, now I am thinking it is a bad idea.

I have them. This is my second set. The 1st lsted me about a year before warping.
