Can anyone with ART or other aftermarket rotors offer up an opinion on how well these rotors have held up?
If you could include miles estimate, towing (yes/no), driving style and anything else you think would be relavant.
I'll recap everything in put in a summary post, we can then see how well it's working out for everyone.
My factory rotors just warped after 25k, so I'm looking at options.
Thanks. |

Put Powerslot cryo rotors and Hawk pads. What a difference from the stock garbage that was on it.
They've been on for aprox 20k miles, no towing, no off road. This is my wife's vehicle driven daily short distances. Previous rotors warped three times by 30k. |

I have 30,000 miles on my ARTs on the front, over 100,000 on the ART rear rotors. I had to replace my front ARTs after about 70,000 miles because they began warping. What I discovered was that I was not properly torquing the lug nuts when I was rotating my tires, so even with the ART rotors, I still had the warping problem. Now I torque lug nuts to 165 ft-lbs and they have been doing fine ever since. I installed a new set on the front (which is why there is only 30,000 on them now) because once they are warped, there's really no amount of turning that'll fix 'em.
