That's for the set. but don't buy them. mine cracked in under 8 months. (about 12k miles).

If you REALLY want non-solid rotors, get the powerslot slotted ones. they run about $160 for the set, and you won't have to worry about the cracking common on stillen's crossdrilled rotors.

yeah, ive been told that cross drilled are not really very good for regular everyday driving. ive heard slotted is the way to go for that.

i guess i should add that i have driven ~ 20K miles on them and i'm on my second set of pads... i kinda want them to crack so we don't have this debate about them anymore. it's not like i baby them or anything...

I was actually veyr easy on brakes when I had those...
after I went back to stock rotors and gained performance is when I went crazy with my braking.

I don't know what happened but Matt93SE must have received a defective set of rotors. I have $tillen X-drilled rotors and am not easy on the brakes at all. I have had them for over 30K miles and they are just fine. I still have the $tillen pads that I put on with the rotors also. I think they work well and look good if you have open wheels. Just make sure if you buy them to follow the recommended break in.

Re: Re: stillen front brake question

I also used Metal Matrix pads, and followed the break-in period. My right rotor developd a crack in it large enough to stick your fingernail in in under 15k miles.. not very impressive, especially considering my stock rotors have nearly 60k of MUCH harder driving on them.

$220 can be spent better elsewhere,cut it into 2,$110 a good night at the nudy bar and $110 for new OEM front rotors

I have another thread about this, but does anyone have the powerstop x-drilled rotors? They are great performance-wise, but they are making alot of noise, I just had em put on like 2 weeks ago.
