Rotora BBK rotors and pads on the cheap

Maintaining a BBK is expensive, replacing front pads and rotors for my 6 pot Rotoras would be about $700 with Rotora parts.

I was able to cut this in half by going with EBC EBC-USR7512 Rotors for the G37 Sport and Hawk HAW-HB109Z710 Pads.
Could have saved another $50 - $100 by going with other rotors but the EBC's are pretty nice rotors.

Only real trade-off is weight, the 1 pc iron rotors are quite a bit heavier.
Fittment is good, offset on the rotors is within a couple mm of the rotora parts.
From what I can gather rotor offsets are pretty standard so this will probably work with other
355mm BBK's. The hawk pads are a tight fit length wise, I had to sand the ends a bit to get
them to drop in.

Thought I'd share in case there are any other cheap bastids out there

Good find.

The pads only seem to be ~24$ cheaper than the Rotora pads though.

What other rotors did you find?

If I had a BBK I'd spend the money and get the 2 piece rotors, as those 1 piece rotors Im sure are very heavy. But I'm also into performance not stance.

Better plan is to use these for street and 2 piece for the track.

I paid $138 shipped for the hawk pads at Autoplicity. The big savings is in the rotors, rotora rings are ~$300 ea. the EBC's are ~$250 for the pair.
