They coat them to stop rust. Another way to increase prices.

If the rotors

Been looking around for some replacements.

I see a few sets on Ebay (going for around $150 a set), but I'm not sure how good they are and I've had a problem getting a reply from Roger (I know he is probably swamped right now trying to get caught up).

I need a set by next week.

I found some at local parts place, but they want $107 for one side and $187 for the other side. What is the deal with that? Are they different per side?

What seems to be a good price for a set of front rotors?
