Sweet, I like how the rotors can be customized.

Looking forward to one day doing business with them!

I just read through your website and couldn't find the answer to my question. How does the metallurgy of you blanks compare to the Brembo rotors that are stock on the ISF? What blanks are you using and what formation are the cooling veins?
Thanks!

My friend uses Adam's Rotors on his A4 and he likes them. I am planning on giving these a try on my IS350. I'll report back on the buying experience and the rotors once I go through with it.

we use only premium grade discs to start with, to our discretion, and spare no expense…
the most important part of the process is the made-to-order CNC work, per corner...along with custom finishing & coating we do all in-house.
the material is of the same top quality, equally compared to any of the big players.

I'd like to see more options for 2 piece rotors for the F. I know Figs has some they recentlly released, but options are always good.

^ unfortunately that won't happen from us as we're not in the 2-piece business. (other than rebuilding BBK's...)

but your fellow IS-F owners will be able to chime in shortly about our 1-piece units, as we have been selling them like hotcakes since we've joined.

thanks again for the support guys...email us if you need anything!

I can speak to the quality of AR Rotors, but the service was poor. 2 Months of cat and mouse, including longer than quoted build on the item, a shipping debacle despite the wait for the rotors - and they sent the wrong ones when they arrived. Once the right ones came in, they had forgotten the hat/rotor fasteners, another wait. Extremely poor communication.

^ we are fully made to order at ~3 weeks so there is time involved, plus transit.
unforeseen things do happen in production & delays can occur...unfortunately mistakes/human error can also happen and when the few & far between combined forces, it really puts the customer out and I'm sorry you experienced that.

*edit: in your case (if my memory serves me) I believe there was an odd mis-ship/address confusion and the other customer had your rings which slowed things along with being at the mercy of them getting parts back to the correct party.
again, this is a rarity, but things do happen and we apologize.

we pride ourselves in our service...
we are small shop and have limited manpower that we reserve for sales & CS like this and I'm sorry you slipped thru the cracks.
I know we did all we could to expedite the fix and get you your complete order to you...

I hope you're at least enjoying your set.

Nope, took them off after a month, bought a F-Sport brake set-up with Stoptech instead
