I've had one of those years ago and was not overly impressed with the performance.
I ended up going back to the stock style.

saw this years ago on a home a/c repair cube van. it was based on a 1 ton cab and chassis with duals. the employee had to explain to his boss how he heard a noise but ignored it. at 600$ for both front rotors the boss was not happy at all.

haha that's awesome, looks like fairly new brake pads on there.  :D  I've had a similar issue back in the day when i worked for Hyundai, it wasint that bad, the car i was working on started showing cracks where the slots are and the customer was convinced that the brakes only started squeaking the day before, it was more of a screech when i drove it into the shop a few feet.

that is definitely a great cooling, self cleaning design implementation  ;) if its yours you got to keep that, sandblast it and hang it on the wall, i would even go as far as making a nice clock out of it for the garage. i'm weird that way.
