RaceConcepts.net Rotors: Woody's hookin' us up again!

Just got off the phone with Woody and he said I can't mention the price. But take my word for it, just call Woody and he'll hook us up with the slotted and/or dimpled Bradies for a great price. Just mention that you're a member of the Subaru-SVX.net community and ask specifically for Woody:

(714) 547-3581

He never gave me that parameter, and the price I paid were $150 for the fronts, and $125 for the rears.

Why? I already have them. ?

Anyway, my fronts have started to warp, and they've only been in about 1.5 years.

I'll try retorquing my wheels tomorrow.

Wow that sucks! I just now got done installing mine. I thought people were raving about how much they liked them. And I don't know how we can get better than Bradis/Brembos. All RaceConcepts does is drill and slot them and then send them out to be zinc plated. Warping should be blamed on the manufacturer I would think.

I talked to Woody about getting them cryo treated and he said that it was not worth the high cost.

Anyone else having problems with these?

Rob, I don't understand why you even bothered commenting on the price. Obviously this is a new arrangement, something that wan't valid when you purchased yours. I only posted about this to help out the people that weren't able to get in on the original deal last year, and of course not for people that already have rotors, like yourself.

I have a sneaking suspension it isn't the rotor's fault at all. I had my wheels rotated fairly recently, and I'm assuming they used an air wrench to put on my lugnuts at 200ft/lbs or some other god awfully high number.

I have RaceConcepts rotors/pads/ss lines on all four corners and I'm very happy with their performance and the service/price provided by Wood.

note: the rear rotors are actually manufactured in the U.S.

I have been extremely happy with the rotors, ss lines, and customer service there. I too would highly recommend them.

I would like to mention that RaceConcepts has also been very good to our group. Wood donated a set of front rotors for use as our Prize for the Road Rally at the last Reading Meet. He has always given us a great discount, and the product is top notch.

I've had a set on my car for 2 years and they are still excellent!
