This is madness (no offense, Jaime). I just replaced my cross-drilled rears with solid versions and saved $300. Mine's a race car, so aesthetics are sometimes deferred in favor of value but the price for these particular Factory parts, IMHO, is out of whack. 
$80/pair DELIVERED--with painted hats!

Awesome, Jaime! You're a great help!
Couple more questions, other than new pads and the 993 master cylinder and associated adapters from 9M (assuming I decide to change), do I also require a set of steel brakelines to fit the new front and rear calipers?
Also, what do you mean by swapping the bleed/lines with the 928 calipers?

On the bleed/lines... let me try to find a photo to illustrate the change... all you are really doing is moving the hard line in the caliper from where it is to where the bleeders are... swap them. Nothing difficult.

Hope this helps...
In the 928 the green circle parts are swapped. So all you do is remove the bleeders, remove the hard line and swap their placement.

Just a heads up I have heard of Chinese rotors that have become available for the US market that are dirt cheap but aren't worth a damn. I would verify that these aren't made in China. I also found the Zimmerman rotors do not last half as long as the OE ones.
