man, those rotors are just way expensive. i used to have a cross drilled/slotted rotors zinc by brembo, and only cost me 210 shipped for all 4 corner. unfortunately, i wrecked my car, and don't have time to pull it out before i let it go to my insurance company <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'>  sad enough, and i'm looking for the same rotors for my another 240 with 5 lugs, but just too expensive. and i lost the email address of the guys who sold the rotors to me, no luck at all. does anyone know any cheaper for the brembo rotors out there. thanks

I have bought brakes from irotor.com.  Elivis is a really nice guy, fast shipping and quick replies.  I've purchased both 4 lugs and 5 lugs(just did the conversion).  The 4 lugs were brembos, but the 5 lugs weren't.  4 lugs were $216 shipped, and 5 lugs were $242 shipped.  I think the price is fair, and direct replacement of the stock ones.  So, hope the info helped you out.

summit racing has slotted rotors for the front and high quality brembo solid's for the rear, they arent too much either, and they will price match.
once these ones go thats where im getting mine.
