The stock Brembo rear blank is 18.5# and run about $60/rotor. You are saying that your 2pc rears are 16#? How come replacement 2pc rotors for your 332mm front kit are ~$250 for the pair of rotors, yet I see pricing for the smaller 2pc rears for over $700?

FYI just got my rockauto coupon code this morning since I just ordered from them.

It says it can be used more than once and is valid until May 9th. PM me if you want it.

Anyone have a valid Rock Auto coupon? I can't see spending the extra $ (~$700) to saev 2.5# per corner unless they increased the rotor life by at least 5x, so am going with the Rock Auto blanks for $56 each.

Give Frozen Rotors (Diversified Cryogenics) a call. When I raced a 240Z in ITS the front rotors were consumable items and would last through two pad changes. Once I started buying cryo treated rotors from DC the rotors would last through ten pad changes. Paid 25% more for rotors that lasted 500% longer.

I heard about rockauto here on the forum and I have bought several sets of blanks from them now. They are a good choice in "best bang for your buck" rotors.

I also used to think that drilled and slotted rotors were the best. I just recently got into road course racing at the end of last summer and I have definitely learned that the best thing to do is buy blanks unless your pockets are really deep and can drop 800-1000 bucks on some 2 piece big bad *** rotors for the whole car.

Their site is always so slow - it's painful. Do you happen to know the difference between their "Eline Stock" and "Premium" rotors are? There are no descriptions.
