I Got My Rotors!!!!

Not installed yet though. Get this, only 125 for the front pair. He has the Legend brakes for the rear and he says they should fit...I bought front only. The one on the left is the front rotor. Brembo blanks and they're CNC machined by another company. Cross drilled and slotted as shown with a silver zinc plating. I'm so excited right now!!!!

What do you mean by "Brembo blanks and they're CNC?"

Allright I just got home. And to answer your questions:

Brembo blanks means that this guy bought normal rotors from Brembo (a very, very good thing) and he took them to another company to get them cross drilled and slotted.

CNC machining is how the holes are actually made. Actual drilling puts too much stress on the rotor. CNC machining put less stress on.

Third yes you can get the rotors for around this price. 125 for the front pair plus shipping. If you live in SoCal (hes in Santa Ana) you can go pick up there.

Contact Wood and tell him Kai sent you:

Raceconcepts
1018 E. Chestnut Avenue # F
Santa Ana, CA 92701
Phone: (714) 547-3581
E-Mail: sales@raceconcepts.net

The rotor on the right is the rear rotors designed for the Legend. Wood says they should fit the TL/CL rears also. I'm going to be the guinea pig probably so I'll give you guys info in a few weeks as to whether they fit or not.

Hmmm we may have a slight problem. I think the rotors are only 11 inches in diameter. Our stock ones are 11.8 inches. More info to come...

That is dirt cheap. The front looks better than the ACP but I'd take my rears over the pictured ones, as they have what appears to be more ventelation, plus they fit My rears were definately lighter than stock. Fronts still felt heavy though. Do those come in a gold cadium plating?

This post should be closed since these rotors DO NOT fit, nor are there currently any Brembo blanks that can be used for the CLS.

Trust me, I talked to this guy and he isn't with it one percent!!

Get them from either ACP or KVR--both places carry the correct rotors.

I don't know how this got resurrected, but forget about the "less than stock diameter in the front" (at a minimum).

ACP / KVR --> YES!
