Steve was running a special promo price on them. They were about $400 for all 4 rotors. I had to pay extra for the pads front and rear.

I hear that the Axiss Ulimate pads and these rotors make for a excellent combination. I am yet to install these and only bought them because the price was so good. I am still very happy with my TRD rotors and EBC pads. I will be switching out hopefully next week sometime so I will post up a review soon.

I too have the Bradi slotted/drilled rotors with the Axxis Ultimates all the way around. After going this past weeked with 15 other Lexi from the all over the Southeast to the famous "tail of the dragon" with that brake combo I can say this......They work awesome. I had no brake fade even after the hardest runs at it. My rotors only showed a very very slight hint of heat (blue color on the disc) and that was only after a super hard run chasing an NSX. I looked at some of my buddies after similar runs and theirs were very much showing signs of excessive heat (very blue all over the disc).

I even posted a pic of one of the guy's rotors after a run on the gallery. Even his wasn't as bad as some of the the others.

Personally, I would highly recommend the Bradi/Axxis combo to everyone. The rotors are reasonably priced, great quality, and durable. The pads are awesome, period. Exponentially better than OEM. I have a gentleman out of Cali that I got mine from. Very friendly and quick shipper. If you're interested, email me and I'll give you his info. BTW, I too got my rotors from irotors.com and would also recommend them.

I had bad luck with the Bradi brand rotors with the EBC pads. They went about 10,000 with no problems and then began to warp. I had them machined and they warped again about 2,500 later. The rotors seem to wear to fast ...maybe because you sacrifice longevity for performance. The EBC pads didn't mesh (in my opinion) with the rotors and may have contributed to early warping. Anyway, I also now have the Rotora rotors with the Axiss pads. The Rotora rotors look higher quality than the bradi brand. I'm reserving judgement on the setup until I can get some more miles on them (only about 3,000 so far).
