there's a guy on preludeonline that does discounts for parts, too. i think his s/n is mike95lude.

he's got a thread or two in the group buys section...and i don't think brembo makes rotors for the rears, so you'll have to go with something else there.

A little advice for you, don't waste your money on slotted/drilled rotors. Unless your car is going to see continuous lapping on a road course they will actually provide less performance than standard solid rotors.

Yeah i was going to buy the blanks alot of the guys in my field were saying i would just be wasting metal they cut or drill out
unless i wanted to go to a brake pad i have to heat up with the rotors i would be wasting time and cash

did you do any brake lines or a higher end brake fluid i hear it go both ways on which is best

Yeah. I have stainless braided lines. You can get brake fluid that had a higher boiling point too but I don't have that.

Drilled and slotted rotors are designed to reduce brake fade by allowing the brake discs to better dissipate the heat built up with CONTINUOUS HEAVY BRAKING. By continuous heavy braking I mean multiple laps of threshold braking around a road course. You will never see the benefit of this type of brake setup with normal street use. In theory, drilled/slotted brakes will actually reduce your braking performance on the street. Having the holes/slots in the rotors results in less overall surface area for the pad to bite down on. This means that the actual initial braking performance will be better with solid rotors than with drilled/slotted ones. It's only after multiple threshold stops that you will begin to get the benefits of the drilled/slotted discs.
