Has anyone bought these rotors? I see them on Ebay for $150 (plus shipping) and that includes all 4 rotors. Sounds too good to believe. They come in 24 different configurations and 3 different colors. The thing that bothers me is that it's advertised for a 1997 - 2003 V6. :roll:

Dang. How much holes do you need. :shock:
OMG, kill it with fire! God, I hate ricer parts.
I honestly don't care for the holes. I just need some rotors and was wondering if anyone has used TriNET's rotors before. The price is good and they look good, too. Hell, I really can't go wrong. I've been having certain brake issues since day one with this sucker (as well as everyone else with an 8G).Quote:

Like I stated, I just need to get this thing back on the road. I have to replace one of the rotors and if I was going to have a shop rip me off by charging me $100 for one OEM rotor, then I'd might as well get some cross-drilled rotors (all 4) for not much more off the internet.
Does anyone know of a good location for some calipers, too? My front passenger side got fucked up and I was going to replace both of the fronts at the same time.
i heard of some members having them on this site. they said they were good and all. dude what happen to your car? i was going to say that i have a set of OEM rotors at my house but you have the v6 right? i have the I4 and stuff.....
Yeah, I have the V6. I was procrastinating on getting the pads changed and one day, the M.F. just fell off the caliper. Not only did I damage the caliper, but I ruined the rotor.Quote:

I had some major fix-it ticket fines that I paid last year and since then, I didn't want to be part of the "system". Fuck buying gas, fuck insurance, fuck other drivers. But now, I'm sick of the M.F'ing public transportation, so I don't have any other choice of what I need to do to get around town.
i'd go wit the r1 rotors. the big thing that would worry me about those rotors are that the rotors are probably cut to order. not sure how much time the company has spent looking into the placement of the holes and the slots. im pretty sure that if you put a hole or a slot in the worng place or have too many, you might just increase the chances of warping the rotor since there would be less rotor to work with.
I'm going with R1, but not through the group buy.
off topic: Hey what's up Rich. How ya been?
on topic: good choice. R1 makes some good stuff and their customer service is great as well
What's up Jason. I've been doing good - been staying out of trouble and whatnot. My girl moved in with me at the beginning of October, so I have some extra cash since I'm only paying 1/2 the rent now. The old G has been sitting in my garage collecting dust. I got some work to do on it now. I'm also finally going to stop procrastinating on my 91 Sentra and get that thing going, too. I haven't driven in almost a year and I really don't want to either, as I have learned that I hate driving and I really hate other drivers around me when I drive, too. I've become a hater. All the things I used to do with my cars, I now hate - well most. I don't like boomin' no more. I don't like hearing cars with the BRRRRRR mufflers, etc etc. You know, when you paid over $6000 in fines over the years for these stupid offenses, you either give up or continue wasting money. I'll still be into having a nice looking ride, but I'll be damned if I need to be in a ride (daily ride) that the cops are going to be tailing me because I have a modified muffler or car is sitting too low or my lights are too bright. I'm just sick of the whole thing. It costs way too much to drive these day - not even mentioning gas. But don't mind me, like I told my girlfriend last night (she f'n' busted out laughing when I said it), I told her i'm on my menstrual cycle right now. Naw, but man, it's been a bitch at work and I'm like pissed all the time and in a bad mood. Fuckin' hate it here, but damn, I get PAID... most people would kill to get this type of money for nothing. I'm going to have to update my resume as I'm looking to split from this place. Only a few more years before the newspaper industry folds.Quote:

Perhaps in the next 3 years (or maybe sooner), I may be moving out closer to the East Coast. I have family out in Ohio. I'm going to visit them in July. My girl is excited about the prospect of moving out of Cali, too. Anyways... I definitely want to visit NY on vacation one of these days and I thought I would holla at ya if I did. I know DANJ is out there somewhere upstate, too.
That is good to know about R1. Thanks.
thats good to hear Rich, glad to hear you are doing well. Yeah man definitely give me a shout if you come to visit NYC. Yeah Danj is prolly about an hour and a half from me or so. We'll get a meet together for sure for and OG like you.Quote:

Cool, thanks bro.

Thanks Trev. I visited that site earlier, and it's a bit misleading. The "cheap" or the "core" price is only after you paid the actual price and then sent Partstrain your old caliper after you had them installed. It's somewhat of a reimbursement price.Quote:

Link to the Galant page:

I ordered through Kragen (which ended up going through PartsAmerica.com) and the price was $63.99+$50 core. This had free shipping and $5 off, so it was about $10 less than Parts Train. When I have the part put on, I then take the old caliper back to Kragen, or ship it back to Parts America for $50 back.Quote:

They sell more then just Rotors. Their prices are rock bottom! Near or at wholesale price, even when u dont have a resale licenese to be a distributor (layments terms...for anyone).
