You guys want to bitch about expensive OEM quality rotor replacements ? Look up STi rotors =p (and not the Raybestos kind either)

If they are so expensive get a custom hat made up and put stock coleman rotor surfaces on them, those run about 80-100/ea.

The Powerslots were a good compromise, they're around that a piece after figuring in the cost of the kit I bought them with (HPS pads, SS lines, 5.1 fluid). That was all about $650.

i still love me some Carbotechs. Ordered some Bobcats for the Supra and Escort today and they gave me a discount b/c I've been buying so much from them lately :-). I'm sure I'll love the compounds, so no need for review. And yes, the website is truly awful.

I call them up, oh we were waiting on compound for your fronts XP10 (I ordered 2 set of rears, 9,10 and 2 sets of fronts, 10/12's). I said well I need them now, I have a race in 2 weeks. They he-hamed about having to do extra work and whatnot, I get them the tuesday before summit. :roll: This was w/ a 1 month lead time and 2 days shipping. I like it better when their customer service sucked and they actually shipped pads out early.

i had the same problem with the xp-8's i ordered, but when i called they were very apologetic and said that mine would be the first to ship out once they finish making them.

i still love'm though. I will always to go them for my performance braking needs.
