Cheap and brakes are something to watch out for - its a safety item.

BUT - there are some low cost options out there:

4 rotors:

Good pads, good price:

http://www.girodisc.com/catalog/prod...roducts_id=386

All of these come from a proven vendor and are on cars here.

I have 2 of these front rotors coming in tomorrow to put in my car.

The rotors you initially posted are heavy as hell. I know that much. I had those exact same rotors on my S13 (i have Evo rotors all around). They are non-directional as well, meaning the internal vein structure is not designed in a way such that air is extracted outward from the rotors given a specific direction of spin. I sold mine to get better designed rotors.

As stated before. You life depends on your brakes. Don't compromise your life for cost.
