I bought a pair of KVR's once. This is what they looked like after 2 sessions on a road course and less than 200 miles on the street.

Several friends had bought KVR's, and between three of us there were 5 cracked KVR's that weekend.

The AutoZone rotors that replaced them had more than 10 sessions without any major cracks (there were some small stress cracks that would have grown into the above).

I just installed front cross-drilled/slotted rotors on my car.

I got them from JC Whitney mail order for just under $60 per rotor (cheapest I've found anywhere).
If you're still looking look 'em up at jcwhitney.com and use discount code AJGN670 (get's you 10% off).

I just looked at them, are they only for the front? Or can you get two of each, one on each corner.

Thanks for the heads up on that. When I worked there about a year and a half ago, all they had was Albany rotors. I agree, stay away from the Albany pads, go with Performance Friction. The Albany pads have so much metal in them, they'll tear your rotors to shreds.
