So Tony what ever happened with the other rotors? Are those the replacement ones or did you end up getting your money back? Either way they look great.

They took them back and are giving me a full refund. With shipping, it was like $325. I paid $100 less for these and they came with the ceramic pads. Yes, they are off of ebay. I'm very happy with them.

Good, I'm glad they are taking care of you and refunding you all your money. Glad these rotors and pads are working out for you. Because you sure went through some he#$ over those other rotors.

They go on after the rotor to hold it on so you don't have to have 3 hands while putting the caliper back on.

I hold the rotor with one hand and slide the caliper on with the other hand. What makes you think you need a 3rd hand Scott?

I just thread a lug on by hand to keep the rotor on place.....sometimes I forget to take it off and I'm like "Why won't this $)%&#)*&#(*$&#(%&# wheel go on?!?!"
