I went to that site and the price is $613 for the kit you talk about. I don't see how anyone can sell this for $285 unless you are getting them from someone who bought them and doesn't want them anymore. Otherwise, I'd be highly suspect. If you compare to other brands, any decent rotor at a good Internet price is going to be $80-$100 per wheel. So, you're at $320 for rotors alone.

They guy has this group deal on another forum. If you buy from that site there is a coupon to push it below 500 then there is a rebate also.
I was asking about this brand. Is it reputable?

My Ride: 2006 530xi. Deep green with beige interior. 6 speed manual. Premium package.
I have used these before on various cars. They work fine, but the rust sooner than OEM. I have never had a set last 50k miles. What will happen in the rusty rotor will get a groove and then need replaced sooner.
In summary. They work fine, but will need replaced more frequent than OEM.
