As WorldPac are dropping Zimmerman from their range that is why you had the problem.
Partgeek was selling something that is no longer in stock - I assume these where plain rotors and not cross drilled. You got the last couple of front rotors I suspect.
Sebro and Pilenga seem to be the new rotor kids on the block.

The front rotors were the normal directional rotors. The rears were standard.
Turns out the second order was diverted back to them from Fedex, even after they didn't give me a full refund. Stupid idiots.
Who can get me front pads delivered on Friday??? to area code 33316

Our good guy Vince at our local NAPA found 1 set front pads in Miami, got them to me this afternoon, perfect match was last in S. FL they had.
The rear set from Tampa warehouse, will have them tomorrow.
Both are PBR brand organic. About $100 for all sets.

This thread is awesome.
Partsgeek is your classic drip ship operation. They don't have it, have no idea what it is or what it looks like, and the burden of dealing with the results is on the consumer.

Kalspeed. What fraggle said! If you haven't noticed a trend in the replies to your question, there are several 928-specific, honest, new and used parts sponsors on this site. They either have it in stock or can get for you a typically better part, accurately, quicker and most (if not all) times less expensively than the minimum-wage 18 year old schmutz at your local chain auto parts store or purchased on fleabay can. Pay attention little grasshopper (meaning that only in the kindest way).

Next time I will trust the 928 vendors.
PS Vince is not an 18 year old schmutz, actually he is semi-retired and knows his cars and where to find the rare parts needed that the schmutz can't.
