I need to buy front rotors for my super beetles with 5x130 bolt pattern. I wonder if the Airkwld BAD Series Billet Rotors are any better than the casting ones. What is the advantage? Any first hand experience?
thanks

I working in open space office so I could not switch a speaker ON :D but now I am at home and I watched the Video and there is no information about stopping capability comparing to the castings ones.
For sure they are good looking and practical with removable hub etc but I'd go more for braking than for the look.

Well he says in the video there are a few choices cross drilled or grooved. Most of those types of things are more to help the brakes keep cooler if you brake hard a lot, so I would say actually stopping power before overheating steps in are very similar.
