Default Suggestions for rotors..........

I know, this comes up every 4 months - and what used to be deals sometimes turn into long, sad stories (been there - done that!).
So, what's the latest/greatest deal on rotors?

Saw this one lately - any problems?

Thanks!

that is a great deal but i have recently read of problems with buyers that its taking a very long time for them to ship them out and they cant seem to get ahold of the company in any way (phone, email, pm)...theres a thread on it somewhere. i was ready to jump on that deal but after reading of the problems (some guy i read has waited like a month with no contact) im a little hesitant...

heres what i found: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...ease-help.html

I have these rotors and LOVE them. I got the drilled and slotted with the Hawk pads delivered to my door for under $350. I have no complaints at all.

Sadly though, there have been a lot of people complaining that they have not received their paid for items and can not contact them. The moderators were not able to contact them either and the FS thread was moved to a stickey I believe. The only problem I had with them was that I asked them how long the sale price would be offered and they gave me a date of when it would end. It has been 2-3 months since the date they gave me and the price is still the same. I didn't need rotors at teh time and wanted to wait longer. Ironically, ordering mine early meant I got mine where as people who ordered soon after me were stuck taking up disputes with their credit card companies.

All that said, I would say either look elsewhere or hold out until things are resolved with the seller. Maybe you can find another carrier besides bsibrakes. These rotors were well worth it in my book. And as long as they don't get scratched they should remain beautiful and shiny for a very long time thanks to the zinc coating. Sorry for the long post but I felt the need to inform you of all of there problems.

I'd be happy to post or send you some pictures of mine if you would like.

I bought some Brembo drilled/slotted off of that big auction site. Small holes. That with Hawk HPS pads - very satisfied.

Well, this is why I posted for "the latest" regarding ANY deals!
Guess I'll just keep watching.
I almost got burned on one over a year ago - sadly, too many of our forum brothers did!
That's why I ask again!
Thanks, guys!

Better that as opposed to accepting money and sending nothing!

Thanks for the update - and good luck, too.
