Check with Freakingfastsrt. He has a post in the classified parts for sale section or send him a PM. I have one set on my Crossfire and have another set on the way for my sons Crossfire. Very happy with mine. I have pics of my rotors in my Gallery and I believe he has pics as well of his rotors. A good deal IMO

I have had both good and bad exp. with USPS but one way or another they always seem to find themselves to the door. Second I don't do this for work>>>I do this as a favor to the forum...I only ship out on weekends~Reason being is that when I go to work @5am and come home at 730pm Post is closed~ So I ship on Sat.

With all the orders I have sent out to fellow crossfire members (over 3000 boxes) I have run into my share of problems with shipments late, dropped, lost, kept for scanning, kept for investigation or employees just flat out being lazy or? due to boxes being to heavy for them. I have gotten every excuse in the book from USPS. Ys boxes have been known to be put off on hold due to weight.

I do offer shipping from a more reputable companies such as UPS FEDEX, but price is almost triple the cost of USPS. So either you guys want reliability or cheap shipping. Completely up to you as I have well mentioned in previous posts...

So please be patient...I understand the need to get something you pay for in a hurry. They will arrive.

Nothing personal, and hopefully you can understand my apprehension/concern.
