James,

For drilled rotors check with Porterfield Enterprises(Trans Am racers)
in Costa Mesa 714-548-4470. When I last talked with them they wanted
$80-$85 ea for the rotors and $50 ea for the drilling. Comes out a bit
cheaper than the Stillen pieces and, quite frankly, it may be one and
the same. I've found Stillen's offerings to be pricey and many times
available through different sources. Exceptions would be the urethane
stuff they design, but the stuff they just resell is usually more
expensive.

Perhaps a group buy on these? I'd be interested.

Bob
