If you're really wanting the best rotor, as your post states, consider this .

^Looks like this is the correct link, and price looks like it's for 1 only (need a pair).

You are correct, thank you.

Pat:
thanks for the info.

If I was looking to upgrade to a S model size rotor this looks like a good way to go, but was thinking in terms of the stock sized rotor, which they don't offer.

Hi Mike,
I run with the Spec Box crowd quite a bit and no one I know has a magic bullet ultimate rotor. I was running a set of cheapie Balo rotors on the front but since I switched to R-comp tires last year my braking forces and heat increased exponentially. After 17 track days and a few AX events they were thoroughly BBQ'd and pretty warped. I just replaced them with a set of Zimmermans and fresh Raybestos pads. At $160 a set for 2 front rotors, if they last a year of DEs and Time Trials I figure I got my moneys worth.
