I have their rotors/pads on both my cars and have no ZERO problems with them. They come zinc-plated so you don't have to worry about it looking all rusted after you wash your car. A lot of other members here have their rotors too, such as MadMaxSC400, Howiedoit, ChairmnoftheBoard, ...
Here's a picture of my SC400 with half of Half-Dome in the back in Yosemite.
I can't believe I didn't get the entire thing in there...

UPDATE: The I-rotos I installed now have approx. 500 miles on them still look good and brake well the only thing is when I hit the brakes I can hear the front pads grinding. I bought the pads from I-rotors the brand was (dura) for the front the rotors still feel smooth so maybe it's just the pads or this may be caused by the crossed/drilled set up. It's not really a grinding noise but more of a ??? noise brake dust is a minium I guess time will only tell. Anyone expierenced this same problem

Yeah, the brake pads Irotor sell are crap (IMHO). The grinding was driving me nuts, so I replaced them with Lexus OEM pads - A HUGE improvement.
I am happy with the rotors now.

Another update rotors are still smooth and look great approx. 1000 mile now but still expierencing the noise when I first drive the car the back pads (axis metal master's) will sqeal for the first 3-5 stops then don't hear them until car has set for a while but the front pads (dura) have a unusual feel as if they were grinding the pad away fast but w/ no sqeal to them very annoying as soon as I can get access to rack at a friend's shop going to put my old stock pads on and see if same thing happens. My old pads were only worn down abot 30% and my old rotors were in great shape so hopefully this noise when braking goes away they stop the car great but this annoying feeling and noise is not acceptable

Are they mettalic? if they are that is your proplem, esp if they are cheap metallic pads... Try some kevlar ones next time, best compromise IMO... you can get them from KVR for 70 CAD i beleive...

My Lexus has 110,000 miles on it and just had the first set of front pads put on. The rears have about 30% left. I would not worry about the longevity of the OEM pads.
