I will be fitting new brake rotors to my Celsior very soon.
Dont like the look of the rusty factory rotors after fitting the 19's!

Got a price from DBA....$170 a piece170x4= alot of $$ ! ($680)

Have been looking some of the rotors on eBay...im a bit put off by not knowing the quality of the products? I just have visions of hitting the brakes and the rotors shattering into a hundred pieces ! lol

Not looking at the super cheap ones..as they are guaranteed to be house!

Some thing like this?

Steve,

The factory Celsior rotors are very good quality, if they are not too worn I would clean and repaint them rather than replace. The DBA's are fine, not quite as good at cooling and wear a bit quicker than the oem part. Avoid the low cost no brand cheapies, they will sometimes last less than one set of pad's. I would strongly recommend factory pad's, unless you are doing track work they will be the best choice.

Regards

Roger
