This happens with me all the time. I think it happens to everyone...

Alright, my mini spring detail went well! Just got her out in the sun for inspection since when I was done yesterday it was dark. NO MORE holograms and a good deal of swirls taken out (PO took good care of her, minimal swirls..and if any, they were VERY light) Since I'm still afraid of my PC7424, I went light with a blue pad and some mothers cleaning wax from my local store.

Also, OE front rotors list at $320 for the pair, the performance floating cross-drilled are $500... Still not exactly cheap.

To give you a price comparison, brand new OE rotors for my 2002 are $30 each

I'm pretty sure that's just the fronts that have the aluminum hat and are lighter. That's the way mine are at least. I checked prices at Husker BMW and it's only $772 for the set of the new version that is slotted and drilled where the old ones were just drilled.

Or better yet, $692 here......

I've never done business with them yet but their prices seem to be the best I've found.

Glad I got them when they were on clearance for around $80 each.

washed the ///M today and will be visiting my ZHP at the body shop this evening :)

So, JP, you'd be paying $790 more for a set of Performance rotors that offer a measly amount of weight savings. Look at the numbers and you'll realize just what a difference that is in price for a weight savings that will gain you almost no performance advantage. Just saying...

Turner sells OE front rotors for about $160:

And rears for about $130:

$710... for 12lbs. That's a set of wheels... or close to it.

Of course, this $710 figures self labor. Rotors are super easy to do, but if you want a shop to do it, you're still looking at hundreds less for OE blanks than the performance rotors.


But if you still want to do it, go for it. If money is a concern, you can't beat OE blanks. If not, bling it up baby!

I agree they are overpriced, that's the only reason I haven't bought them... and yeah, I would do them myself. Turner is selling the old version for $500/pair for the fronts

Barry, where on those sites do you see them? I can only find the regular rotors listed in the brakes section (those are only about $80 per rotor, so $320 for the set)

Search those sites by part number from Realoem.....

One nice thing about Penskeparts.com is they show the weight of everything....

http://www.penskeparts.com/DiagramsM...ts=34112282871

It shows about a 3 lb difference for the fronts between the Perf. and plain ones but the rears only show a .15 lb diff which confirms what I was saying in my other post.
