Anyone try these yet?

Anyone tried these for replacement brake disc? If so, what are your thoughts about them?

Also, do you have to replace the brake pad sensor ever time you change pads, or only if the pads get totally worn down enough to activate the sensor?

Thanks.

I'm sure they won't be as pricey from a retailer. Although, I'm having trouble finding anyone that sells them.

Don't do it. I got Powerslot rotors and have had them with EBC reds for 25k miles and there is little to no wear on them.
I had cryos on my last car and I can tell you that you can see a serious amount of life out them.

I wonder why slotted and drilled are less than just slotted?

Why $73-$93.00? With my luck it is always the higher number.
