Good store to buy brake discs from?

Hey guys,
looking at replacing my stock brake discs (probably have never been replaced) and I was wondering what stores you would recommend.

To be honest I don't need some high end $300+ a set pair. I just want something decent.

The cheapest I can find is $92 delivered from here:

(car is a GR so a 256mm diameter is needed)

I'm tempted by the slotted rotors, they just cost twice as much.

Any stores you'd recommend?

Cheers

Try auto 1,$92 for gr discs is ok but i remember a mate of mine got his disc done at his local mechanic for $78 a pair,and his car was a gpx.

Modified Racebrakes as I misread the e-mail, it was per set. So it looks like OPA on eBay is the cheapest followed by RDA.

Any other stores you guys recommend?

haha how much did they charge you for shipping again?

Their shipping is insanely expensive

I made the mistake of getting a couple of rotors shipped from Camskill, cost me 300 POUND to get 'em here...

Here's a snap of the receipt it was £190 pounds with TNT but it was 4 rotors, 8 pads and braided brake lines.

It was, as you could imagine, damn heavy.

haha insane. I ended up getting the $92 ones from Motorbling. They are a lot better than my stock ones and I've ordered some EBC Red Stuff pads for my front brakes. Should be a good upgrade

Will it make much difference if I leave the rear brakes until a few months? They aren't in too bad condition.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

The rears don't really do a whole lot of work it's mainly the fronts so only replace them when they need it.
