I had them on my Z32 a few times, not bad, I wouldnt do track days with them, (well I did once they warped). But outside of that, for daily they are fine.

Pros: fine for daily use
Cons: warped on track
Vehicle: Nissan

Duralast Brake discs

That's likely the lowest possible grade of rotors I've seen in a while. Lathe marks are too rough, and the casting is bad.

Cons: lowest grade, rough lathe marks, bad casting
