(LATER) Hey looking through the forum I see something else it might be. I am waiting on some front brake pads as mine are almost down to the metal, about 90% worn, just getting new rotors as well, only a few bucks more than a re-grind, might as well get new.
Holy ****, how hard do you drive that thing? I have never seen anyone, except the weekend track guys who can go through those that quick, and I know of multiple people still on OEM after 70K

Are you sure that is all the parts? That is the best price I've seen. Keep in mind, you will probably need a release (throw out) bearing, pressure plate, new flywheel, etc.
