Yeah, the supplier is a brake super-center who only specializes in brakes. They import these rotors from europe I believe and do all of the machining in-house....they can leave the rotors plain or drill or slot only but the items in stock are pre-drilled and slotted. These will ship as soon as the buy ends...if you want special requests they will start the work when the buy ends and you may have to add a week or so to the time.

rktktpaul - the slots do more for performance than the cross drilling. Performance vs. Pad longevitiy? Get a set of "lifetime warrany" pads and replace as needed.

waiting for the reply email now!
Any of you guys interested also interested in pads?? Any aprticular type? I'm partial to the Raybestos Performance Plus pads...they are dustless and noise-less. I know a lot of import guys prefer EBC green stuff though. Just wondering if anyone was interested in a rotor/pad bundle.

I'm interested in pads. EBC green stuff or maybe Hawk HPS. I just changed the rear pads and the front still have quite a bit of meat left. Since there hasn't been much interest showing on the board yet, I'm willing to wait a while. Especially, since I dropped 10x more cash to finish off my header install on my truck. I planned on spending about $50, ended up dropping close to $500. I hope I get a raise soon!!!
FWIW, when I upgraded my brakes on another car, I only did it because I came across a good deal and thought, "what the hell, why not?" Afterwards, I noticed dramatic improvement. I enjoyed driving even more. When I took the vehicle on a road course, it was a blast to drive. Having a great brake package is definitely worth it. So for those just lurking and thinking, "I don't need better brakes". Think again!!! After doing my last brake upgrade, I fell further in love with the car (sick isn't it?).

great info GNO. I'm going to check for prices on pads for you now. I'll also get some prices for the Raybestos as they are my faves.
I'm still waiting to hear back about the 4-luggers who only need 2 rotors!

if you had bought the OBX catback like me you woulda had extra money to buy rotors!! With the insurance check you should have plenty to upgrade your car with when you repair it. Look at Macdaddyslomo....he's doing it right!!

sweet, I'll add your name to the list.
Ebayers like to advertise their item at a very low price and rape you on shipping so they make their desired income. I buy a lot of video games off ebay and when you ship a single game USPS Media Mail it costs $1.25 anywhere in the lower 48....people charge $6-10 for shipping??? WTF??!?!!
