Jason(prophet) has some good ones they are slotted only, not sure on price because we get a discount from the retail of $649 his store is on Galantforums.com there are probably cheaper alternatives but also what year g do you have cause the 99-00 had brake problems. Rotor warping and other problems. I believe raceconcepts.net, mention you are part of tgc and you get a discount, have just the rotors for pretty cheap like 100 or something. they are brembo. Calipers sold sepaerately. I believ club3g.com has a group buy on Baer brakes every once in a while. Other than that I believe thats all. Unless there is still a Rotors and EBC greenstuff group buy going on on this site but I think it has closed. check around I'm sure there are others.

i went through race concepts. they are in fact brembos and they'll make the rotors to your specs (slotted, cross drilled, dimpled, combinations, etc). it was $50 per rotor for the front, 35 for replacement brake pads, and like 30 for shipping with the discount. just keep in mind that the rotors and pads are direct replacements, so they're oem size, oh and those prices were for the 02 i4 (cause thats what ive got).

Just a little imput here. These are Brembo blanks that are machined. Brembo blanks are the cheapest blanks you can get in the market.......

which is exactly why they can still make a good profit, but in terms of a cheaper alternative with decent quality they aren't all that bad. besides these are mostly for aesthetics not incredible performance gains. i mean dont get me wrong there is definitly a greater than stock stopping power, but id sooner go w/ lower grade brembos than some peice of crap off of ebay. just my opinion though...... :wink:
