i'll give it a shot.
installation cost. i'm not sure that it should cost anything. install them yourself. there are 2 bolts you have to take off the caliper and once that is off you should only have to pull off the old rotor and reverse the process.
as for how much they will help braking. i think that the only real benefit will be cooler brakes. if this is the case then it should allow for better, harder, and safer braking. with the brakelines this should help tremendously.
about wearing pads out faster. i'm not sure i agree with that. i think that with normal braking it might last longer. with auto x ing and **** like that i'm sure your pads will still wear rather quickly.
hope this helps. if i'm wrong then i'm sorry, just trying to help, i'm not an expert though.

The front bias will get tons worse...
Oh, and one thing to add to the installation... be sure to get a coathanger, and wire the calipers up to something on the car as to not put strain on the stock lines. This is while you're putting the rotor on.

, same idea as resurfacing the rotors when you replace the pads

OK I'm back... Here are few answers for some of the questions;
1) The rotors are mainly for heat dissipation. The cooler your brakes run, the less chance of brake fade or cooking your brake pads. A lot of you will never get the brakes that hot, but that’s what the slots are for.
2) Install at our shop would be $65.00.
3) Its a good idea to change your pads with the new rotors, but it’s not necessary as long as your old rotors aren't grooved real badly.
4) I'm willing to do the rotors and brake lines for $270.00 that’s the lowest I can go
I think that’s all... Thanks to all those that have placed orders, we're getting them out quickly as possible.

Somebody really needs to get on the bandwagon with RPW and get their disc conversion that's OEM units off the back of Pacific Rim Lancers.

Are these the same size as the stock rotors.?
I got 17" wheels and I would love bigger rotors than stock.
However, these RMR Rotors seem to be a sweet deal!
