I need to replace the front rotors OEM are priced out of this world and the only other option I see are the EBC, guess the real question is 1) are the EBC rotors the way to go ?
or should I suck it up and go with OEM.
I dont think the used option is a good idea since you really dont know if what your getting is warped or not
Thanks

Re: front rotors ?
FA85 & EBC are best option, I haved used "Sixety Six" off of e-bay with good results at a very good price, but if you do city driving a lot the EBC are better. Both OEM & EBC are pricey but SAFETY is most important..

Re: front rotors ?
I, personally, have no idea. But Carl Leo does. He can tell you what to get, and he can offer you the parts, as well. His contact information is at the top of this forum. Cheers!

Re: front rotors ?
hmm didnt know about a company that resurfaces bike rotors, will keep that in mind, however mine are warped they each have a bad spot in them and when I used the ole screwdriver on a jack stand to see how bad it was there is no saving them
Thanks for the info though, it will come in handy one day im sure

Re: front rotors ?
I just picked up a set for my bike, both front rotors EBC retailed at 300 for the pair, 46 was about what the two sets of FA85 pads were also retail price. I flushed the system and the fronts feel great. Gene Kap.
