Default Where to buy new rotors for my DC2R with NSX caliper setup? (need overseas-shipping)

Hi guys, can you help me out here?

It is soon springtime here in Norway and new trackdays is coming for me and my R. I need to buy some new rotors, and I have decided to go with the beefier 95 Legend GS rotors (282x28mm) since I am also upgrading with NSX calipers, Carbotech P+ pads, ATE SuperBlue racing fluids etc.

But where to buy rotors?
I have tried my Honda dealership here in my hometown, but they didn't know **** about Acura/Honda Legend-parts And OEM parts are more expencive over here than i the US... so I just need help to find a shop/place that can sell and SHIP new rotors to me.

Thanks Yoshi,

but I sent Andie at Cobalt a email last week, but no response so far. I understand he is a rather busy guy though... maybe I just have to be more patient.

The phone is probably more effective.

I bet they get 100 emails a day.

Yeah, I am sure your right .RJ, but it's so much easier to just send a email, especially for a lazy norwegian guy like me, with the language, different time-zones and stuff

But there are more places to get rotors from other than Cobalt? I have read good things about Andie here at H-T, seems like a guy I want to deal with

Paypal me some money and I will go by Autozone and pick up a set of rotors (that will last) and ship them to you via. FedEx.

They work 'quite' well for the price.

I've got another set to try out on the car now. I'm going to assume the cracked rotor is my fault.

Its too strange otherwise.

Will, trust me, you do NOT want to use FedEx (or UPS) for international shipping...USPS (either Express Mail or air parcel) works better, and for our Euro friends, you can "fudge" the declared value so they don't get reamed on customs duty

Wow! thanks man! Sounds like a great idea - if you would do me this favour I would be very happy I can contact you by IM later when I am ready do business... I hope you are a man to trust

I also got a price from Baranco Acura parts (contacted Len by email) and they wanted 100 bucks per rotor - and they could'n ship overseas... But that is some price-difference vs. the autozone ones... but it sound like theese Autozone-rotors will hold up quite well

I will keep that in the back of my mind.

I have to fit the NSX-setup first and see how that works - If I decide to sell the ITR-breake-setup I will for sure let you know man! No sweat.
