I bought the Raybestos from RockAuto. The P/N's are 980675 & 980674 and they were $109.79 & $64.89 respectively, and shipping was about $45. And then I used a coupon code for 5% off for a grand total of about $375 delivered for all four.

It looks like you can also buy the rears on
for $65/ea with free shipping, so $130 delivered for the pair. And you can also get the fronts on
for $101 w/free shipping for a total of $202 for the pair, but they are currently on back order. That would make the set of all 4 just $332 delivered. Or you can also buy the fronts from a place called Daves Discount Auto Parts[/ame] for $116/ea with free shipping, so $232 delivered for the pair.http://www.davesdiscountautoparts.com/searchitem.epc?mfr=RAR&sku=980675. And at the top of the page it says they match competitor's prices, you may even be able to get them to match the $101 w/free shipping that Amazon is selling them for. Worth a shot!

well, I think I'm just going to shell out for the OEMs from Sewell. The front rotors will cost $396 and pads are $250 (same price as Ferodo). I've got a friend who works at an auto shop who will knock out the installation for me. So to get this all knocked out for under $700 is not bad.

I assure you there will be absolutely zero performance difference between the Raybestos and the OEM rotors, and at 40% cheaper I would think they'd be a no-brainer. Pads are a different story, the OEM pads are excellent if you can stomach the $250 price for a pair.

+1. I can't imagine any street driver finding any difference between the OEM rotor and the Raybestos piece. Not sure about track, especially tight course, but for the street, you'd be hard pressed to justify the OEM prices when the Raybestos will do the job just fine.
