You have an Android smartphone? If so, there's a really good app for that

Yeah you're probably right, I always replace rotors with pads. It's not worth the headache IMO to leave rotors on and just replace pads, or vice-versa. These are components that literally embed grooves/tapers into one another. If one is worn different from the other you'll just end up screwing stuff up or end up with sqeaky/squealing brakes that are going to fail prematurely.

I have an AUTOXRAY that has been amazing for me, the prices are very reasonable as well.

FYI though they look nice, drilled/slots smoke pads much faster than blank rotors.
Just so you know.

Are all blank rotors the same? I saw ecb rotors that were a lot more than OEM rotors. Figures the drilled n slotted ones won't last. Got excited for a few minutes..lol

Meh, I'm going to run Drills/slots, but I'm fully aware that the pads will probably wear pretty darned quickly. It's just a question of whether you're prepared to lose pad life for appearance.

For those discussing drilled/slotted rotors, not all are created equal. Some can and will warp, a friend of mine had it happen to him.
The ones I'm running were Centric brand blanks that were drilled and slotted, and they've held up very well

That looks like a good deal. The price kinda scares me though. Seems really cheap for all that. Also how will the black hold up over time as they wear. They look very nice.

Look at Centric 125s rather than the 120s, 125s have Directional vanes

I know price kinda has me wondering to. I dont want it to be one of those you pay what you get for deals. From the description the black holds up pretty good maybe over time the black fades or comes off where the pads scrape. From the feedback alot of different car models buy them many g35 and 350z owners.

No, I was in a hurry and just browsing from the phone. But looking at them now, they don't mention what blank they use, so IDK.

A warranty is nice, but if they don't pay return shipping, it's not worth a whole lot... rotors are freaking heavy and $$$ to ship
