Wow they've gone up. I've got a set of them you can have for $300 bucks, catch is, they need new rotors... and they're 800 for the pair. Mine also come with EBC red pads that have 90% still on them.
sh*t yeah Ill buy em off u if I can get rotors cheaper, are u sure they are $400 each

They seem to range in price, or does the commo have a different stud pattern? Making them harder to get and therefor more pricey?
Commo are 5x100, wont fit
beside the brackets require a custom offset rotor, 400 is it mate. Ben looked high and low for a better price and ended up getting the brembos instead
It's actually 5x120 lol ;) #commodorelyf
Meh, Holden keeps changing it lol. The cruze is 5x105, WTF lol

The calipers are off a Commodore, but the rotors are off a C5 Corvette... and they're cut down to fit... and there's only 1 guy in the coutry that does them. Hence big price tag.

I might just buy the rotors myself & throw them on the mrs car!
