I just sent an email to EVERYONE in their company asking them to answer up about the problems and failure to communicate. I also put the link in for this thread.
Let's see what happens.

Guys, sorry to hear about these horrible brake lines...
I am currently talking with RotorPros for starting a GB on a set of ss braided brake lines for the RD. I did not know this was a problem until reading this thread so I understand any skepticism when signing up for this group buy. That is why i have decided to buy a set at full price (instead of discounted GB price) and drive on them for approx. a month. I live in Seattle, WA and commute in crappy I-5 stop and go and race on weekends which involves very hard braking and am just starting to autoX which will be even more pressure on the brakes. So if these lines stand up to the test, then I'm sure they'll be fine for any of you LA drivers, Chris, Jaws... If they're a bust, or shows any signs of wear then I will not continue GB and will replace lines with something else, probably back to stock. But I have confidence in rotorPros' products and currently the lines are on the way to my house. So if everything's fine with them in a month or so then hopefully I can hook all you up with inexpensive, quality brake lines to replace these busted ones.
One question, I'm new to the site and wasn't around when this brake line Gb was going on, where did you get them from and for how much? Maybe someone can direct me to the GB thread in which these lines were bought..?
Thank you.

"Magnum Teflon Stainless Steel Braided brake lines.
A large percentage of your brake pedal travel is due to expansion of the hydraulic hoses under pressure. Replacing the rubber flex hoses with our stainless steel reinforced Teflon hoses eliminates this expansion, giving you a firm positive feel of your cars braking system.
This set of lines is fully covered with PVC thus give it extra protection, no other brand on the market gives you this extra protection. All the hangers and holders required in this set of lines are made of anodize aluminum. The Lines have been tested and pass the 5000 psig burst test
minimum requirement meeting the Type approval FMVSS - 106"
if the don't meet the requirements or have given fake testings they can be in major trouble, + a free replacement or refund..

I dont think they lied about the burst pressure of the hose, but i dont think the fittings have a 5000 psig rating!

Well, I sent it to EVERYONE at that place, and no one answered.
At all.
Boycott anyone?
Time to start a campaign I guess.
