TLabuser, i hear what you are saying and i completely agree if this was the price for just one rotor, but this is for 2. makes me kind of worry about the quality.

Yea and the last thing you want to do is take chances with your brakes!! I am looking at rotors myself and I am leaning toward Josh and the Rotora replacement rotors.

Dude, you don't want to cheap out on your brakes. $130 for two rotors for Brembo-equipped TL's is not a good deal.

Ok, for giggles, I just checked HeelToe's site, and the OEM-type replacement rotors (made by Centric/Stoptech) are $215 shipped, $204 after AZ discount. A much better use of your money.

Thanks bro for the help. I am looking for slotted rotors though. I think i am just going to go with the Rotora slotted/H2 pads. Thanks for the help, i really appreciate it.

Ordered

Just ordered the Rotora Drilled/Slotted w/ Rotora H2 pads. Hope this combo works better than Brembo blanks/pads. They are soooo loud. Thanks to all that replied and gave suggestions.

I wouldn't do Hawk Pads. I have heard they squeel alot.

You should buy the Rotora Pads if you're gonna get the rotora rotors. I got 2 front drilled/slotted along with Rotora H2 Ceramics for 402.00 shipped.

Discount code for exelerate is AZ ROTORA.

Good choice I am happy with the same setup but i think i might get some SS lines to replace the stock rubber ones. I dont know exactly how to word it but i feel like when i put the pedal all the way down i can feel the rubber ballooning out mabe its all in my head because i was reading up on some SS lines but I feel like i should swap them out. Anyone have a opinion to add? Has anyone already experienced this and swapped out the lines?
