Replacement rotors, non OEM
There's an interesting thread over on M3post discussing alternatives to OEM rotors (~$1200 F/R) and the spendy BBKs out there.
http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=860667 Of particular interest to me was post #42 by Lufty which discusses the possibility of having sets made by Coleman Racing for a very economical pricepoint. http://www.m3post.com/forums/showpos...5&postcount=42 The main issue at this point is getting a used set of stockers to Coleman so that proper measurements can be taken. Is anyone remotely interested in this possibility? Last edited by ayao; 08-08-2013 at 02:19 AM.. |

I would certainly entertain the idea. Not really looking forward to having to replace my rotors. Luckily, I have found the rotors to be quite robust in stock form despite the punishment they have received.

The PFCs look great but price of admission is steep at $2100+ for a pair of fronts; replacement rings are about $600 a pair. Granted this is much less than a BBK but if the Colemans are viable performers offering OEM levels of performance and reliability for substantially less, then it's worth finding a set of toasted rotors to get these setup.

Not sure if they make the right size, but brembo OEM-style blanks are usually competitively priced.

While rotors are still steep at approx. $600/pr, I expect that they will handle abuse and last longer that the stock rotors. Neil |

I may have misunderstood the description on HP Autowerks but the $1060 price is listed as "priced per rotor" ... Perhaps Harold could help clarify ...

I am leaning towards going this route unless there is a better bang for buck option out there. |

Yes, more than likely they will change out your rotor at least once during the warranty period. I just had my pads replaced on all 4 corners and they said my rotor are still within spec. I'm hoping that my rotors will be out of spec by the time I'm due for service. I currently at 22k miles.

I have gotten a tons of life from my OEM rotors but they won't be free forever so an aftermarket option will be nice. |

They will also last longer than stock or any other stock style rotors. |

I am generally impressed with the stock rotors holding up the way they have given the abuse they've endured. That being said, I still think that getting Coleman to setup our rotors would be intriguing... |

Yes, that is a significant unsprung weight saving. |
