Default Gt brake swap . Need to find best deal on rotors

Need to find rotors for brake swap . Since my rear brakes arent being swapped i should just have the rotor resurfaced . Im at 38 k miles.
Whats the best deal for 2 rotors . I want these to last and be a tiny upgrade for my v6 not looking for brembos ...

I dont know.
Mine are wearing twice or even three times as fast as the fronts.
My rotors have 50K miles on them and the fronts look as new
with no ridge built up around the edge. I mean, like new.
The rear rotors were off at 36K miles for a rear axle bearing/seal job
and the ridges had to be turned off of them before reinstalling.
The rears are now exhibiting the same ridges as were there at 36K miles.
Rears are $40 from Roush.
They have a minimum thickness cast into them in thousands of an inch.
Without pulling a rim and using a micrometer on the rotor,
your guess is as good as mine.

rotors $31.95 each

GT brake upgrade kit $159.95

AM is too pricey.
www.mustangsunlimited.com has better selection and pricing.

Yes you need the brake brackets. The calipers themselves are identical
