Those look to be the exact match to the rotors I installed a few weeks ago. I did not get the rotors through that outfit though. I went with these guys: http://l2brakes.com/REVISE%20L2.html

The rotors are working great for me and they look incredible. It is nice to have the fronts and backs match now, with cross-drill and slots.

By the way, the L2 guys charged me $250 for all 4 corners of the car. Unbelievable price for excellent rotors.

Here you go.

I went ahead and replaced all 4 as a precaution. I needed pads and I knew my rotors were getting a tad worn. Heck, for $250, it was a no-brainer.

I'd like to know the depth of each ring and the weight vs OEM too. I'd hate to pop them on only to crack them a month later.

I found them on ebay and called them about local pick-up (since they are 15 minutes from my office). They reduced the price from the ebay listing and gave me a cash discount, bringing my total to $249 out-the-door. At that price, I could afford to replace these things 2 or 3 times to each OEM replacement.

As for the weight and thickness, I did not do any scientific measurements before my install, but to my untrained eye and hand, they looked and felt very similar to the OEM's I pulled off. As stated above, they seem to be performing very well so far and have a full warranty from defects and warping.

I'm telling you, these L2 guys seem to be pretty good.
