that's right Dom, you must read the warranty only covers street cars. not race cars, another problem people have. and the worst thing for the rotors are hill climb and short sprints, as brakes aren't up to temp and people just jump on the brakes first corner this problem is only with cross drilled! this is why i've got only slotted! i was talking to the Qld DBA rep the other about them.
