even though it says "ROTORS" it is brake pads. They are less dust than the originals too.

if you want to get new rotors you can get them as well,

These are dimpled and slotted:

I just spoke to "Smitty" at Summit racing (800 230-3030), he advised me to be sure to drop the "DP" in the 21287 for the brake pads (use just the number, '21287'. The price. of the pads is $69.95. They however, don't expect stock until the end of January.

The rotors, 'GD923' is correct. The price of $159.95 is for the pair.... not each.

You can get EBC black pads for $55.00 U.S. delivered to your door from EBC Direct in the UK based on the current exchange rate...

rock and roll....
when are you leaving for the the hills?
take some videos of the Dragon....better yet...let someone take the video, you just make sure you don't become part of the scenery.
..After a few hundred turns I made the mistake of trying to follow the yellow center line right up to the point that it blended with the center line on the other side of the canyon ....hit the brakes, left turn..yep it is fun...
...had a Corvette with a camera mounted on top behind me...I waved him to pass me and he just waved me to continue, when we arrived at the tree of shame he approached us and said, "dude, we were tripping, you top the hill in a blue car and it was gold at the bottom"...
...never got a copy of that tape like he said he will e-mail me....oh well...

they don't stock, just purchase and ship.

it takes two weeks for the process.

I put a set of pads on Monday and turned the rotors. 20,000 miles. The dealer said there was 20% remaining at the annual service. When I looked at them, it looked more like 40%. The rotors really weren't bad,but I turned them anyway,just in case there might have been any warpage. Pretty straight forward operation, took about an hour and a half,start to finish.
