    I dont actually believe that they were installed wrong, more of a driver issue, i have seen many rotors like that, or even just the hats and no rotor left.

    i'm going with those rotors needed to be replaced and due to the dropping economy, they didn't replace em and just hooked up the brake pads and made some killer bank off those folks.

    Im guessing that they were resurfaced with just millimeters left until it was into the cooling fins. Once they got hot enough and cracked, the face came off.

    What's the problem? That's the new slotted rotors, they were at the SEMA show this year...it prevents glazing of the pads.
