That's a great price. You might want to consider doing your front wheel bearings at the same time by just putting new ones (and grease seals) on the new rotors when they're installed. You can pre-tension them on installation and then re-tension after about 100 miles of driving, and it saves the hassle of trying to get the old bearings out of the old rotors without damaging them, or damaging the old ones on reinstall to the new rotors.

I did it this way on mine, and am glad that I did. Those look nice,

Looks great. I am very interested in their durability. I've been watching those on Ebay for the past year, now, as i think you can get them in colors, too (Black, gold, silver). If they hold up well, I'll get some to compliment my GSL rear axle swap / brake job! The price is nice.

FYI cross drilled rotors won't be able to take abuse very hard like during track days or auto x since they are cross drilled after all. it reduces the rotors' structural integrity. they will eventually crack/warp over time. although for street use, i can't see why they won't last for a long time... ? i think if it's for the street, it should be fine and perform well.

if you want balanced performance and reliability, you would want to get slotted and dimpled rotors. similar look like cross drilled but the holes don't go through the rotors

I am wondering if this company is making these rotors why cant they change the bolt pattern while they are doing it. 4x4.5 or or 5x4.5 even better..............

Let us know who the company is and maybe i can get some informatiion from them being a dealer...

If not maybe i can contact some of the rotor makers and see if they will custom drill rotors i cant see why not they have to drill holes anyway.

I just spoke to the guy at OC and he is checking with his Tech's to see if we can buy rotors for the 12A cars with a 4x114.3 bolt pattern drilled in to them......

This might be the coolest thing ever.....

GROUP BUY BABY
