I don't have the cash right now to invest in an upgrade though, so I guess I'm just going to resurface and slap on these pads.

They didn't call us lol.

We have a few different brand rotors on our site that we can get and install if needed.

Holy crap! I've seen some expensive brakes before, but this blows them away. Hell, you can get a cheap big break kit for that price! Usually I am one for staying OEM on brakes, but maybe I will switch when the time comes!

You could fly me out there, I'd bring parts, install, AND cook you a mediocre dinner for much less than that.

Seriously though, for good brake parts I like to go through Ken @ KNS Brakes. Just don't buy Hawk HPS or Hawk HP+.

Does anyone make a replacement rotor ring for the OEM 2 pc. rotors? Girodisc, that's a good opportunity for you guys.

No its pointless for use to make a special rotor for the OE 2pc rotors because the rings would be 600.00 for the rings and expensive Brembo Hardware. For only 150.00 more you get a all new rotor in our proven design that use cheaper rings and hardware. Your best bet is to sell your MR rotors when they are new and worth something and swap to Girodisc...
