I wouldn’t call it skimping. Call it best bang for the buck. 9 guys on the forum are running the set and say they would buy them again. Some of those guys used ‘frozen’ (or cryo?) rotors which cost $140 per rotor and say those aren’t worth it.

Most expensive isn’t always the best. I ran Brembo blanks and KVR pads on my Maxima ($200 for the set) and they were better or on par with the full drilled/slotted Brembo rotors and Hawk HPS pads ($350+ for a set). Yet, the set was almost half the money.

Same deal with the Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires I’m running right now that are like $160/tire but out perform some of the $300 tires (Bridgestones, Goodyears, etc.) on Tirerack.

Thanks for your opinion though.
