Hi eveybody!! so I recently discoverd that my front brake rotors were warpped!?!:mad: I was looking around for a decent replacement. found Galfers infamous wave rotors, dont get me wrong I like the way the look but dont like the price tag $600. So i found a set on ebay by a company called ARASHI. I did some looking and found mixed reviews. So for $200 for the pair I figured I'd give'em a try, I also purchased ebc double H copper sintered pads. First impressions the rotors look legit, laser cut and perfectly crosshatched. So I installed them and bleed/flushed the front brake calipers( used mercedes benz super dot4+ brake fluid). After doing a modist 250 miles around town riding to properly seat the pads and break in rotors, I gotta say the damm things are dime stoppers!! I mean I went from two fingering the brake to using one finger! and even after 250 miles the rotors didn't turn blue and the crosshatching is still there! In these hard money times it's nice to come out ahead instead of getting it from behind!!:D

To arron if you look on ebay it shouldn't be too hard to find them, just make sure that they say arashi on them also just look under "zx6r brake rotors" dont put the year, then just sort threw and find your year! To larry j I will have some pics soon waiting for the rear rotor! To badassjake dont worry I ain't mad at cha!

Luis, its been a year now on those rotors. Can i get an update on the Arashi Rotors? I would be using them for the race track only and so far i've found some good ratings. but wanted to hear from you.

Sad to say ARASHI rotors from MadHornets did not impress me at all. I installed them and bedded them in with new OEM pads first. Went down my hill and around the block with slow starts and stops and they would pulsate violently as I was coming to a stop. was very concerned. Took it to the track the next day and the bike was scary when braking at higher speeds. I spun them and I saw two bends on each rotor. So I took them off, and put older rotors on get me through the day.

MADHORNETS told me they would send me a replacement set and i never received them. Sent them several emails and calls and never got a response back either. I was very disappointed in their customer service and their rotors.
