We have had about four days without rain in 2 months. Wow, look at the hat - looks brand new! I'm impressed.

I bought from Maximum Motorsports and paid top dollar, $550 for all four rotors but they had them in stock and I got them in two days. Everywhere else was back ordered.

You can get them cheaper especially if you just want blanks. Tire Rack has pretty good prices on Brembo, and of course you can get "Brembo" rotors on ebay for much less.

What makes their "rotors" any better than any others? I know why the calipers are better, but not the rotors.
Thanks

Nothing that I know of. The reason I went with Brembo is because they are the OEM for the Cobra "rotors". Of all the parts to cheap out on, I just can't get myself to do it on the brakes.

Good eye, man! Not many people notice the difference but I bought these wheels for the very reason you mentioned. They are OE Concepts. I got them through a local tire shop.

Thanks Nobody! Appreciate the help!

I've been trying to find good looking Cobra R's (AFS Cobra R's look like crap IMO) without spending the cash for the actual FRPP wheel.
