Yeah, from TriNet.

So far they seem to be good quality. We'll see how long they last.

Those look great !

Are they just the fronts, or did you get the rears also ?


+1 on " USN HM 350Z " comment. Please post up some reviews once you have some miles on them.

FYI, how much do they go for on e-bay ?

It's always a risk trying something new but after 20 years in the aerospace business... There's no reason why plain iron brake rotors should cost more than $30 each... Some people feel the more they spend, the more they get, but Iron was invented 900 years ago... It ain't rocket science anymore.

Now carbon and ceramics, that's what I get to play with now.

No disrespect, but I don't know if I'd take a chance on rotors that were drilled by some company that may or may not know what they are doing. If you bought some plain OEM rotors off ebay from company X, thats one thing. But you bought drilled rotors. Looking at the pics, looks like no thought as to integrity was given as to where to drill those holes. Not really even sure as to why they used a Z pattern for slots. All the best though.
