Question Magnum Rotors

Has anyone heard of or tried Magnum Rotors. I found them on eBay and I am just wondering how good they are.

You get what you pay for AND they are on Ebay which usually tells you something.

Here is a disclaimer from their website:

IMPORTANT REMINDER: Drilled rotors offered as OEM replacements should not be considered appropriate for high-speed track use.
While cross-drilled rotors offer an enhanced appearance and add some resistance to the boundary layer of gasses that can build up between the pad and rotor, they are not designed to withstand the extreme temperatures and stress that are produced on the racetrack. If they are used on the track, it is very important that the rotors be carefully inspected and should not be driven on if even minor signs of deterioration are seen. Please note that if any products are used on the track they are not warrantable.


Now, that right there throws a big red flag on the field for me! I personally have used and recommend going with Stillen, Baer or Brembo.....I've never seen those companies tell you that you can't use them on a high speed track! I've personally tortured MULTIPLE sets of Stillen rotors and NEVER had a failure.

Your money, your life....we're talking brakes here, not a bolt on appearance item.....although reading their disclaimer it seems they consider brakes an "enhanced appearance" item...

Thanks much for the metion of Stillen To take the Stillen rotors one step further - we have a lifetime limited warranty on our rotors against defects in materials or workman ship (NOT a wear warranty).

Let me know if I can be of any help

Hmmm.... that seems ripped right from the Tire Rack's website.
