Considering what other local makes & models that 276mm disc fits on, I don't think you'll have any trouble sourcing locally. I've purchased rotors from Camskill before & the weight of them brought the freight cost to almost $300 Aus.

MITSUB 3000 GT GT, GT-SL 1990 - 95 Front
MITSUB FTO GPX, GPvR 2.0L 1994 - 2000 Front
MITSUB MAGNA TR 4Cyl - With 'X' in Chassis No. 1991 - 94 Front
MITSUB MAGNA TR V6 - ABS & NON ABS 1991 - 94 Front
MITSUB MAGNA TS V6 SEDAN & WAGON - ABS & NON ABS 1994 - 97 Front
MITSUB MAGNA TE, TF, TH 1996 - 00 Front
MITSUB MAGNA TJ, TL - Excluding AWD Model 2000 - 04 Front
MITSUB VERADA KR V6 - ABS & NON ABS 1991 - 94 Front
MITSUB VERADA KS V6 SEDAN & WAGON - ABS & NON ABS 1994 - 97 Front
MITSUB VERADA KE, KF 1996 - 98 Front
MITSUB VERADA KJ, KL - Excluding AWD Model 2000 - 04 Front

And +1 on the Yellow Stuff being a massive overkill. I run reds & even they sound like clamping a couple of bits of granite around a piece of tissue paper.

If you know where to look the FTO discs are cheap. They can be had for less than $70 bucks.

Cheaper, and confirmed RDA brand.

Bought them for the Magna, RVR and FTO and they're top notch.

Don't need slotted as the car's never tracked.

I paid $45 for my fronts ages ago. The FTO is good on its stoppers, rotors seem to last forever.

You can get new rotors for Falcons cheap! Repco sell them for $55.00. Cheaper elsewhere!
