Personally, no but my buddy has on his A4
2 of the rotors warped after 1,300 miles. One rear and one front. I have Zimmermann x-drilled,all four, and am satisfied with them and haven't had any problems.
I had a Civic and an Eclipse before, and found out that the custom choose your style and color rotor deals aren't worth the money. The rotors will either warp or rust a lot. Plus you don't need slotted rotors for street use, as they will ruin the brake pads.

My brake pads have never been ruined, and ...
Front and rear, I've used slotted rotors exclusively for years.

i have cross drilled rotors (zimmermans) and they are smooth as silk...no problems
ALSO, if you start seeing tiny cracks eminating from the holes, those are merely cosmetic surface cracks. if you find cracks radiating from the center outwards, get new rotors. The little cracks are ususally caused by hard driving and heat buildup. As for these rotors, i'd be a little leary unless they can tell you what brand they are. I would only buy Zimmermans or Brembos...but thats just me.

Second the Hahhah. deep zinc silver? how deep can plating be...
And, since they say they have tried "all" rotors and these are "best" I'm sure they would be happy to mail you their data if you ask for it. At a minimum I would demand they supply color coordinated valve stems and caps because a unified color palette is our birthright.
