I emailed them inquiring where they get their blanks from and as far as the brake caliper kit I also the black duplicolor paint kit and it worked fine and cost me like 20 bucks. I'd save your money and just go with that.

Ive used R1 on my lincoln ls and my acura legend. Will be getting a set for my g35x soon

I will make it even easier for you and post links. Others have purchased from these sources and been happy with what they got. If you choose to buy from an obscure place it is your money and your risk. If they are good, post up and let others know. If it was me, I would stick with the known. Centric rotors from Rock Auto run under $150 for all 4. I don't think you will find cheaper and, if you do, is it worth $10.

DBA 4000 Slotted- (Disk Brake Australia) Check these out - I like them.... I noticed a couple negative reviews, but I used them on a Subaru WRX & have them on a Mustang, and I think they work great - and look good, too....

DBA are great, but pricey. I think he is trying to do it on a budget.

Just FYI,

I emailed drt about their rotors asking if they use centric blanks and they do but from what I see from their site it's purely their premium rotors that are centric blanks. That being said I'd go with whoever offers the cheapest centric blanks (slotted, or drilled, or whatever you want) shipped to you and go with those.

I didn't think about that but now that you mention it, they are a little pricey for the G's...

By the way---"2008 Crown Vic/custom black and white paint/custom rooftop led's/custom touch screen computer in dash with 10" monitor/composite rear seat/AR-15 and Remington 870 in custom rack"----Both excellent choices, but may I recommend something from the Mossberg 500 family?

I got the slotted StopTechs all the way around from Riverside. It's a good choice.
