The GT500 rotors are much larger than or GT rotors, so there not going to work.

Who wants to spend $1500 for some damn rotors anyway?

The set sells for $1500, $800 for the front and $700 for the rears, retail.

It's essentially not worth it. Get some Powerslot, Hawk, Baer, or any known name brand.

I just wanted to see if anyone has run them. The price is ridiculous.

My 13" FRPP competition spec rotors weigh 19.4 lbs each. I think the stock rotors were 15-16 lbs each. It would be awesome to have some lightweight two-piece rotors, but I don't think I could justify paying $400/each for rotors on a street car.
