$120 for shipping, so it'd come out to $2064

I'd prefer buying from riverside since I atleast know Rick and Tony personally, plus they're local .

Thanks for all the info, Cal!
Low $1900s + tax = better deal, especially since Riverside is topnotch, local, and will send them straight to Mike for you.

thats not bad. If you can swing it, save your money and don't buy the front stoptechs and get these 2-piece rotors from racing brake. Kinda on the pricey side, but you're gonna lose a significant 11lbs per wheel. Def will round out your BB kit.

^How much are those?

Just got off the phone with Tony. He says the same $1944 kit from czp, is $1945 from them, except that they use a higher quality 1-piece aircraft grade metal front adapter imported from Japan.

SO, $1945+tax @%8.75 = $2115 from Riverside
$1944+$120 shipping = $2064 from CZP (don't think I have to pay tax on this, do I?)

$51 difference, but supposedly better quality adapters for the front.
I'd have to pay for shipping and the actualy cost of the powder coating seperately from both vendors. Riverside would send the calipers directly to Mike for me, but I think Coz can do the same....

Decisions decisions....

Anyone know how much it actually costs to get calipers powder coated?

No tax if you order from CZP.

Mike charges around $250 to powerd coat, I think.

I can get you the adapters for $265 shipped, top notch quality. You'll have zero issues with these.

The two piece rotors are $598 for the pair, but you'll cover some of that cost cause you're not buying the front stoptechs. I know it's kinda pricey..but you're payin for a bbk and it's nice to have bbk performance.

^ Are they really that much better than the Stoptechs? I mean, I don't really plan on tracking my car, especially with the wheels I have now lol. But the weight savings are nice, and the fact that it's a 2-piece is good too. What size is the rotor, and where can I order it from?

Cool, that'd be great . Looks like I'll have to order some things seperately.

I'll talk to you guys more about this tonight, if we're still meeting

Mike quoted me about $350+shipping powdercoat the Akebonos a few months ago (I'm still deciding if I want to powdercoat them).

I've been waiting on the 2pc rotors from RB for a while now, but they keep getting pushed back.

Yeah, I've been checking up on the akebono thread in the marketplace and everyone's waiting for them lol. Looks like some people are tired of waiting though.
