Will be ordering 2 sets next week. Thanks Scott for the find, and I will mention you and thanks Your Excellence, Tacobill, for the write-up to build confidence.
His write ups are awsome. Absolutely no detail left unturned! What do you expect from a fellow BCMC'er. Hey Bill, you going to the Roush nite?
Ha! BCMC, the best club in Socal!
I'l try and go to the Roush night (sans the Mustang), but it'll be a little tough being a Thursday night. A friend of mine with a black 06 (w/silver stripes) Roush registered for this event and is trying to talk me into going too!

I paid $330 shipped (they're also in CA). Was told it would be $20 more for shipping outside of CA.
Included was an additional $20 to have the hubs painted silver (comes black if no paint option is selected).
FYI.. the whole rotor is zinc plated and hubs painted with hi-temp paint.
If your pads are somewhat worn, Rotorpros offers a set of low dust performance pads for $90 (complete set). I used my factory pads due to the limited amount of miles I had at the time. I have a couple friends who did the rotor swap at around 10k miles and still kept the factory pads, it's really up to you.
Please keep in mind that these prices were from May of 06. My suggestion is to contact them for the most current prices. info@rotorpros.com or (714) 309-3620
The only thing I'd like to add is that the price from Rotor Pros is wayyyy high. Another of my sponsors, Brake Designs, Inc.http://www.brakedesigns.com/home.php?cat=3660 sells the exact same rotors for $195.00 per set of four($107 for fronts, and $88 for the rear), and you get your choice of silver or black hubs at no additional cost. They are the same exact Centric brand rotor that RotorPros sells, with the same exact part numbers and plating, and you get your choice of single or double cross drilling. They are located on Orange County, Ca. Go to the link, or call Jon or Victor(the owners) at 714-626-8818. If you want more info, pm me. You can see the part numbers in TacoBills pics and mine. Zero difference, except for price gouging!
I cant find the option for blk hubs on that site only the options for drilled and or slotted, bouble drilled or nothing

Installed the Rotorpros tonight with one snag, the rear Brake pistons were frozen solid on both rears! 28,000 miles. I ended up having to use the old pads to get it to fit around the rotor. Oh well ,some mod money has to go toward replacing that now ...

You did use the tool to -screw- the piston back into the caliper?

If your referring to the tool that lays inside the caliper with a knob you twist and it works like a C-clamp to gently press the piston back in then yes. If your referring to something else then no. Last time I did brakes on a car was about 8 years ago and we used to lay an old pad up against the piston and use a c-clamp but this time i bought the tool designed for it and failure lol ...
See, that's the problem right there. The front calipers are compressed with a C-clamp or specialty brake clamp tool. The rear caliper however are not compressed, but screwed like a dial into the caliper. Just go to your autoparts store and ask for a brake caliper "cube" that screws in the piston.

First I heard of this! They screw in? Weird but thanks, I will check at my local parts store ...
