Is $60 a good deal for brand new brake rotors?
Just Curious if $60 for some Brand new Blank 13" cobra brake rotors is a good deal? they aren't knockoffs the guy said he bought them from his local auto parts store?

RE: Is $60 a good deal for brand new brake rotors?
Just because they come from the local autoparts store doesn't mean they aren't knockoffs. Most of the stuff local parts stores carry are knock-off junk, however if the guy is local and $60 is final number, then I would say get them. Knock-off stuff is just not heat treated the same and are thinner material so they warp faster, but you should be fine for 15-20kmi even with those.
I have to tell ya, I put some cross drilled slotted rotors on my car and WOW, no need for major brake upgrades because I don't need to stop any faster than that! If you drive in the rain and as a DD, then I would reccomend just slotted as the crossdrilled tend to crack under severe heat and especially when they are hot and water hits them.

Check this website out.. I got my entire brake setup for cheap...
I got: Rotors, loaded calipers and brake lines.
I don't know about the previous years, but the 03/04 Cobras had brembo rotors, not your local "WILL FIT COBRA DISCOUNT AUTO PARTS ROTORS"
