Looking for a good deal on rotors
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has spotted some good deals on rotors with brake pads and fluids. I don't know much about rotors, but I do know I would prefer slotted and for them to be lighter than stock. The application they will be used for is dragstrip on the weekends and daily driving. I have found a couple deals on some sets and wanted to know if you found a better deal and your opinions on the ones I have found.

10 lbs each side, 20lbs total. These and rears will prob be my next mod. I shaved 7lbs off each corner with my wheel & tire upgrades and felt an immediate improvement in acceleration and braking. Another 20 lbs off the front (and hopefully similar off the back) will probably have this car handling like a go-cart

You do not "need" upgraded rotors unless you are doing lapping days at a track... not 1/4 mile.
That being said, should you feel like spending $550... talk to Joe @ Zspeed, i bought my rotors from him

I found dba 5000 two piece rotors, slotted and drilled, for something like $250 each, which was a fabulous price, with Hawk ceramic pads provided vastly improved brake feel over standard oem. a very worthwhile upgrade over oem kit.
