I called these guys directly and got a smoking deal on a set of 4 cross-drilled and slotted rotors for my C32. The cash price was just $249 for all 4 corners. The rotors have been performing great without warp or squeal.

You can't go wrong at that price.

i also got a set of rotors from these guys. all 4 corners are now vented and crossdrilled. i paid approximately $400 shipped...didn't complain because it was still a good deal considering the prices of stock rotors.

i got the rotors this week but haven't put them on. they are actually sold by centric, so L2 told me they just do the drilling on the rotors and give it a zinc coating. it's kinda funny because L2 just slaps their stickers over the centric logo on the boxes. anyways, i saw on the rotors that they are made in italy, which i hope reflects on their quality.

one concern however, i had trouble getting in touch with them and there were delays in receiving the rotors. before purchasing, i left several messages but never got a call back until i actually caught someone answering the phone one day. also, i've email them numerous times and still haven't managed to get a receipt for this purchase.

scott, you mentioned previously that these rotors are warrantied against warping or cracking. did you ever get anything in writing regarding that warranty?

also, found the website for the centric/L2 rotors in case anyone was interested: http://www.centricparts.com/prod02.htm

I do not have any written warranty that I can find. I read it on their site and they kept mentioning it when I was dealing with them. I guess it would have been much smarter to ask for the warranty in writing. I am also assuming it is also possible that I threw it away with the rest of the packaging.

Still, I would buy these rotors again in a heartbeat.

That is the price for rears only. The front Centrics are $135.80 here and there are no Zimmerman fronts listed.

I still think that $249 for all 4 is the best around.
