To be honest people spoke highly of the Rotex Gold in this forum so I bought those. And I really don't know much about cars so I have to trust the experts here.

Brought my car to the mechanic and the front rotors didn't fit. DAMN I am going to have to mail them back to Brakeworld and exchange them.

Just to double check. They didnt send you the wrong model did they? They list the standard and SRT rotors and pads. I really like the looks of the DiscItalia rotors, but dont like the high price so much.

do you know if the SRT has a smaller diameter in the middle than the N/A? They said the center hole where you put it on the car is too small.

OK so I am not going crazy, I called Brakeworld a few times and finally sorted things out.
I received Acura front rotors and Crossfire back rotors.

Post some pics when you get them installed and let us know what you think of them when you get some miles on 'em.

Just put Disc Italia Drilled/Slotted with Rotex Gold pads on the front of my 2005 Roadster. 200 miles, no issues, good performance, less dust and silent after the first application of the brake.

That is great news. I just got everythig today and will hopefully have everything on the car by next week. I unfortunately have the Rotex Gold from Ebay and will not put them on so I purchased Disc Italia Pads too. Once everything is done I will post pictures.
