Cheapest place to buy front rotors?
Ever since I have had my 'Hawk, it has always had a pulse in the front brakes. I've always been putting it aside, but I've got alot of things out of the way, and this is next on my to-do list. I plan on getting a set of EBC HH pads for them too. Where is the cheapest place to buy a set? I cannot believe how much MC rotors are. I work at Napa, and I can sell a guy rotors and premiem pads for his humongous 1 ton truck, and it is still cheaper than ONE rotor!! I've been searching on this for the past few nights, but never got a clear answer. Can I use the stock 'Hawk rotors in the future if I was to put on a RC51 brake set up? I know slight caliper modification is nessarry, but I'm just wondering if I can reuse the rotors. The cheapest place I have found thus far is Motosport.com (Where I also buy my tires) 219 each, with free 2 day shipping. Opinions?

Service Honda has them at $208.57. Seems to me that going with aftermarket would be the thing to do. I'm running pro-lites now.
KC996 had a similar pulse. Put my stock rotors on when I went to the pro-lites and the pulse didn't go away. He doesn't say whether the change to RC51 calipers fixed it. I only point this out because it might be worth checking carefully before you start throwing parts at it.
