So i go to price out new rotors and find they're between 200-225 for OEM / Stoptech replacements. Not exactly what i felt like paying for OEM, especially if they turn into "pringles" after 2 days.

After checking my options... i find that there are a few 2-piece rotors out there with which to replace the orig ones.
- Z1
- Racing Brake
- DBA 5000 T3

I decided against Z1 as they have JUST come out and there are no reviews. Also, i'd rather buy braking components from a place that has Brake in their title.

Conclusion:
- At $535, DBA 5000 T3 2-piece rotors are really the best way to go. I figured it's $300 extra to get rotors that will last 5x as long. That's a good deal right?

Thoughts and comments welcome!


Did you find a place that does a package deal on all 4 with pads and fluid?
