I bought front and rear rotors and from memory, they cost me about AUS$380.00 (Inc shipping). Took about 6 weeks by sea.

Why would you wait 6 weeks and pay extra for "brembo" rotors? They are just cast iron rotors like anything else, to the same dimentions. Yes, Brembo may make some good big brake calipers and disks, but if you are ordering disks for your standard car the rotors are only going to be the same generic stuff that your car originaly had. I ordered new rotors from DBA, and ended up getting Brembo disks sent to me. DBA probably only make the popular ones themselves and stock another brand to fill out the rest of their catalog.
Just order from DBA, its cheaper. What is better, a lump of iron with "Brembo" stamped on it or a lump or iron with "PBR" stamped on it? Its the same stuff.

My local ABS brake shop has quoted me $169 per MX83 rotor. The 4 Brembo rotors are going to cost me AUS$570 (Inc freight) and be delivered in 3 days.
I'm not worried about the delivery taking longer, so I'm now waiting on a price for the "6 week" delivery time.
With these prices, the Brembo's will be cheaper than the local alternative.
Please let me know if / where I can get a better price then the ABS quote. I'll be calling a few places tomorrow to make sure I'm getting the best deal. I agree that each manufacturers standard "lumps of iron" must be pretty similar in quality, but if I can get the "best" cheaper, then why not.
