Default Cheap Custom Brake Rotors!

I was unable to find rotors in the size I needed, because I got my kit as a small batch custom job. They are two piece, aluminum hat, steel rotors. The ones I had needed to be a bit larger to fit the calipers and brackets, too. I contacted Wilwood since they make a kit for the Z, but they didn't have the right size for my needs. They referred me to their supplier:

Coleman Machine, Inc. (906) 863-8945

I contacted them, and they quoted me $350.30 for a pair of rotors, any size and spec, and $32.50 for slots machined in. They emailed me a spec sheet and I filled it out. Shipping was $24.11 from MI to AZ, and I got them in a week. They fit perfect, and they made them 13.675" diameter by 1.25" vented at my request. So I paid less for custom rotors than I would have paid for a standard size through a normal vendor, and got a custom size to boot.

Just thought I'd pass this along, 'cause rotors aint cheap!

I didn't take photos of them before they were mounted, but here's what I have.
The old ones I measured:


The new ones mounted:


I bedded the rotors, hence the streaks/dust. The fit was spot on.

The used ones are also Coleman parts already. You simply replaced what you had with another set of the same part. Nothing wrong with that, many custom shops including myself use their parts for a wide variety of applications.
