    They supply DBA rotors. Had them place an order for me, $200 for two and will arrive tomorrow. Slightly more expensive than ECS but a whole lot quicker.
    Does that sound like a fair price?
    DBA have at least 5 diffent product types for the front rotor so the price would depend on what you ordered. eg: OEM replacement, T2 slotted or drilled (or both), 4000 series, anti-rust coating, etc



    As long as your happy you'll soon forget the cost

    I'd cancel it man. It's just bursons. Tell them you just dont need them anymore. They'd already have them in stock, it just means that the shop that ordered them for you will have a set of rear vr6 rotors on the shelf.

    I just checked my invoice and I got 2 for 70 bucks! But admittedly they were on sale. They even came with the bearing races pre installed which is awesome. Greg is a top bloke as well and won't bull**** you. I got QFM rear pads, full rear caliper rebuild kits and the two rear rotors for 150 bucks delivered. Can't beat that.

    I can't tell from your first post if your buying front or back rotors.
    I bought my front dba slotted ones for about $300 from AutoOne.
    I got my rears for about $75 each, there brembo's, can't remember where though. I'm sure if u look through eBay you'll find a trusted seller.
    And who is installing them, you or bursons ?
    If it's the fronts, then $200 sounds fine, and I'd just get it from them.

    I'm getting mine from protex, an Australian group. They have been recommended to me from a few of the time attack crowd, as they are cheap, but perform unbelievably. Protex Parts > Products > Passenger > Disc Rotors and Drums
    That's my $0.02 anyway.

    Turns out they weren't DBA rotors but a brand I've never heard of before or seen mentioned anywhere. Best they could do was $148 for both. Since I'm ordering other gear off ECS I'll probably just get it from
    them, otherwise GSL Rallysport has the right stuff and the best deal.

    Change of plans so ordering from GSL. DBA no longer make the rotor DBA834. Instead GSL are sourcing Fremax rotors, anyone heard of these? They appear to be reputable.
