Nice deal.  Though a company i work for can get slotted and cross drilled rotors for the front, for only $110 for the pair.  With a lifetime warrenty.  But thats for another time.  I hope this works out for you.

do they make them for the spec-v's? I've been searching everywhere for a company making them for the spec, and this is the only place I have found.

Yes they do, but only for the front rotors.  Ill send you a link to the company later.

Hey i'd pay the $175 + shipping, but yeah, see if you can talk him down

anyway they can just do slotted instead of slotted and drilled?  I might be in if the price is a little better.

does hawk pad make pads for us, i thought i saw on stillen that they did

Yeah, you really don't want drilled rotors.  They will crack.

I've never had any trouble with drilled rotors, as long as they were done right (chamferred holes). Had them on my 240 with 300z brakes for years...no warping and no cracking.

What you really want are either slotted only, or slotted and dimpled.  Drilling an OE style rotor weakens the strength of the metal and causes cracking....I've seen this more than a few times on more than one kind of car.

They aren't OEM blanks, otherwise I wouldn't be bothering with them.

Doesn't matter, it's still an OE style rotor.  It'd be different than say systems that are designed to use drilled rotors.

so it's either warp the oem rotors every 5k miles, or get a set of these and most likely never see a problem with them....I'm gonna get a new set for sure.

however I can pretty much guarantee that these are stronger than oem. The oem rotors are completely terrible on the B16, and every person on this forum with a B16 has warped their rotors at least once, most people 2-3 times in a year. Stronger metal on the drilled rotors results in them being able to drill them without sacrificing so much strength that they are weaker than oem.

Also, warped rotors tend to be caused by excessive heat...drilled rotors are dissapating the heat much faster so you won't run into the same problem.

Btw, I have a B16 with almost 10,200 miles on the car, and my rotors have not warped yet.

Ya they must drive to hard. I've had mine since june of 07 and haven't had a problem yet.

if you want true performance braking... go with a full set up.

but if you wanna save the cash, get the rotors.

for rotor only swaps tho... go with just slotted.

the drilled rotors can actually hurt oem performance.

I just talked to one of my friends who is a mechanic about this. He said get slotted rotors, and stay away from drilled. When my rotors actually need to be replaced, I'll get some good rotors and some good pads. Stillen sells SS brake lines for our car already, and if you order before the end of the month there is no sales tax and free shipping. (No I don't represent them, I just thought I'd point it out).

technafit claims they have b16 lines too.. the fronts were a little long but nothing bad, i used em.  Our rear line is literally maybe 3" long, and not worth the upgrade nor does a company make the proper lines.

I already messaged this ebay guy he said they are not for spec v

not for the spec-v but listed as 2.5L motor.  very strange...
