Shipping to Aust for Rotors

I was thinking about getting some BMW Performance Rotors for the rears to match the fronts that I got with the brakes kit from Germany.

Messaged United BMW and got quoted $200 for shipping for the pair of rotors

I'm pretty sure I paid only $200 for shipping for the entire brakes kit (front and rear calipers, pads, rotors, dust shields, sensors, screws) from Germany that was sent over in 4 large boxes...

Anyone know a good place for drilled/slotted rears to match my fronts that doesn't charge more than the item itself for shipping?

I'd rather genuine BMW Performance Rotors if possible.

Good selection + they stock ECS rotors.
Cheers,

Do you by any chance know how the rear ECS drilled/slotted rotors compare to the BMW Performance ones? Weight, colour etc. They look a little different in colour when compared to the BMW ones and I guess I'd prefer the front and rear to look the same if possible.

I would get the 2 piece ECS ones but they don't make rear ones

The ECS 2 piece rotors (for the front) are really good, they are indeed a little lighter than the BMW Perf one (ECS claims 20% lighter).. Unfortunately out of stock for another 4 weeks or so.

For the rears, they are all 1 piece, but you can get at least a semi-matching look if you go for drilled & slotted.

I still pay pretty hefty air freight prices on the rotors to get them here... when I eventually sea freight a whole heap of rotors over I'd be more than happy to pass on the savings

I'd be keen for some of them Stu if you can get them here at a good price.
Have you been able to see if you can get the stud kits yet?
