Default Anybody need new rear rotors?

I was looking for a set of rotors for the track car and came across a wicked deal.

EBC GD7008 Rotor 3GD EBC Sport

From what I can tell, the prices for the company as a whole are right on par with the other places but for some reason these rear rotors are $100 cheaper than the other places (even with the handling fee).

The last set of these exact same EBC rotors that I bought lasted for 3 seasons on the track car and are still good enough to use as spares. I ordered a set last Sunday and they showed up on Wednesday.

EDIT: I will also add that unlike the picture on the website, they are actually black zinc plated.

(Insert crappy cell phone pic)

I want a picture of the caliper pistons applying pressure to the rotors thru the pads while you are racing.

I don't have that... but I do have a couple of pictures of what you don't want pads to look like.

(BTW: these were the fronts that came off of the car last time it was out)









Needless to say, changes have been made.

I wish... if you look close you can see massive grooves in the pads.

I was trying a new combo and it was terrible. The end result was a car that didn't want to stop, a brand new set of pads trashed, and 2 brand new rotors trashed.

I like to chalk it up as a very expensive lesson learned.
