Recently had my oil changed at the dealer and they told me I have approximately 4K miles left on my current set up.

I thought this would be a great oppurtunity to add some new rotors. Found these online. What do you think....?

The whole ser for only $270. Which is about $10 than R1 Concepts front rotors only.

I must admit that is pretty cheap. I want to say right off the bat that I'm an authorized dealer for R1Concept but here is some food for thought:

(1) R1Concept offers a 1 year warranty
(2) R1Concept's customer service is ridiculously good. Any issues that my customers have had, R1Concept has always taken care of promptly.
(3) What type of pads are those? Brake pads are very important and they speak nothing about it.

You might want to contact the seller and ask about (3)

^^^ agree with michael he is the expert on this, i had the r1 concept rotors as well before i switched to the m5 rotors last week..i had for about a month and a half and it was very good, good stopping power and i guess less brake dust..i bought the slotted and drilled
eline rotors with hawk hps pads...you are not racing your car right? the e-line rotors should be good save you some money compared to to the premium rotors, most important thing is getting the hawk hps pads, the pads make a lot of difference
good luck and keep me posted, or contact michael^^^

btw: check this website out...
adamsrotors.com

I don't race but ocassionaly track my car or spend a weekend driving it like I do race it. I would like to focus on getting some nice stopping power and that M5 set up is not in the plans...yet.

I thought this would be a great way to scoop up some drilled and slotted rotors for cheap. I could always head out and purchase better pads.
