I got these rotors installed about 2 weeks ago and I am getting rust on the inside of the slots and inside of the drilled holes that isn't being cleaned off by the pad, is this common for these rotors? I've had cross drilled/slotted rotors before that never got rust in those areas... I can post up a pic if that helps.

Well the premium rotors do come with a black rust protection coating applied to the center hub, inner vane structure, and outer rim of rotor. That will hold off the rusting quite well, however no iron rotor out there is an anti rust proof. I apologize but if there is going to be any rust appearance on the rotors; it should be around the crevices of the holes and the slots (where the brake pads can't come into contact with to swoop the rust away).
Easy fix up for that is to spray the rotors entirely with any type of high temp spray paint (you can spot spray too). Set it dry and install, let you brake pads do the rest of the job by taking off the excess of paint. Everywhere else will stay black.

Just wanted to say these rotors/pads were great when i installed them on my brothers ss/tc and have held up very well to some abuse over the past 6 months +
Also Steven was great to work with!

Just a word of caution for you guys. Be careful about hitting puddles when doing spirited driving. I have had my slotted rotors on for a little over a year and I have not been to the track since I put them on. I like to get on it a little bit while driving, but nothing major. I have had a vibration slowly get worse over the past few months and went to see about getting my rotors turned. The shop thinks that my rotors got "hot spots" on them when water hit the rotors while they were hot and warped them. They can't turn the rotors because they are slotted and said that the rotors will tear up their bit. So, I have to get new rotors.
So be careful, they're nice rotors but if they warp you can't turn them.

I've put my stock rotors and pads through so many heat cycles and have yet to have them warp in the slightest.
