Key point highlighted. He's trying to make a business with this.

This place sells a 2 piece rotor deal already.

I know it's kinda a resurrection, but thought I'd post anyways.

Not to clear on if the rears are 2 piece also. I'd like to believe so.

From that webpage you linked:

Please note that the rotors are labeled right & left and have an arrow pointing to their forward rotation. It is crucial to install them on their appropriate side. Basic installation instructions are included. Check out our right column for install tips. Rear rotors are 1-piece. Fluid is not included.

That price (under $300 for the rears) looked too good to be true.

Dammit, lame :/ Any news on your end?

Nah. I don't want to get in touch with them too deep until I can spring for a set of 4 rotors; i don't wanna seem like some window shopper. I had been counting on getting a paid internship this summer or a summer loan for some money to play with, but both fizzled. JohnC mentioned interest in picking up the slack, he's got a job and more experience than me so he's probably more capable than I am of handling this, and i'm sure he'll post if there's any news.

A group buy seems dubious as well, mostly because it takes alot of effort to coordinate it, and i don't really think there are that many people willing to pay for 2-piece rotors.

Hi,

I have provided them info on where to purchase a sample rotor. things might be moving along slowly but at least they are.

articdragon192 · 06-11-2007, 03:35 AM

Good to hear. Like you said, at least things are moving forward.

Update- these rotors are listed on their site now, for the princely sum of $326.30 each.
