I just put some brakes on a guys Mountaineer who was fed up with cheap rotors warping over time. We put ProStop platinum high carbon rotors from PepBoys on it. The look like decent rotors. Come coated to prevent rust, thickness seems fine. They claim to be high carbon to reduce noise, overheating, and longer life.
I know other higher end brake company's offer the high carbon rotors, and OEMS use them also. These rotors are still made in China which is pretty normal. They were $66 each which is actually pretty inexpensive. I looked at some other options and the next lowest high carbon rotors I found were some Bosch rotors at $20 more per rotor. I'm wondering if they use "lesser" carbon than other high carbon, or if the metal quality is just not up to par with some of the others. Time will tell, but if they are what they claim, then they are a bargain.
Anyone have any experience or results?
