  • Rotors, where to buy?

    I need to replace my rear rotors. Only place I've looked is ECS Tuning but I'd like to buy locally if possible because of the shipping cost. My front rotors are fine so I'm only after 1 pair.
    I've been recommended Meyle rotors so if possible I'd like to get that brand.

    Forum Sponsor GSL RallySport. They have multiple brands & recommend something.

          Apparently the QLD one does.

          HSY have an outlet down there, who are worth a try.

            From the HSY website "Please note that we are suppliers to the AUTOMOTIVE WHOLESALE & TRADE industry ONLY. We DO NOT RETAIL our products."

            Can't buy from them either and GSL Rallysport were more expensive, unless those were prices for pairs?

              I've heard conflicting stories, but I'm a trade customer so it makes no difference for me.

                    Ended up just going to Burson Auto Parts while I was waiting for wheel balance and alignment to be done.
                    They supply DBA rotors. Had them place an order for me, $200 for two and will arrive tomorrow. Slightly more expensive than ECS but a whole lot quicker.
                    Does that sound like a fair price?

                      DBA have at least 5 diffent product types for the front rotor so the price would depend on what you ordered. eg: OEM replacement, T2 slotted or drilled (or both), 4000 series, anti-rust coating, etc



                      As long as your happy you'll soon forget the cost

                          hmm, I've already ordered but haven't actually paid anything. What to do?

                            I'd cancel it man. It's just bursons. Tell them you just dont need them anymore. They'd already have them in stock, it just means that the shop that ordered them for you will have a set of rear vr6 rotors on the shelf.

                            I just checked my invoice and I got 2 for 70 bucks! But admittedly they were on sale. They even came with the bearing races pre installed which is awesome. Greg is a top bloke as well and won't bull**** you. I got QFM rear pads, full rear caliper rebuild kits and the two rear rotors for 150 bucks delivered. Can't beat that.

                              I can't tell from your first post if your buying front or back rotors.
                              I bought my front dba slotted ones for about $300 from AutoOne.
                              I got my rears for about $75 each, there brembo's, can't remember where though. I'm sure if u look through eBay you'll find a trusted seller.
                              And who is installing them, you or bursons ?
                              If it's the fronts, then $200 sounds fine, and I'd just get it from them.
