Best/Cheapest Source for 6 lug brake rotors?
 
Hey guys, I am in the process of collecting parts for my front disc brake swap. I need to keep with 6 lugs due to my wheels I already have for the truck. I will be running '73-'87 type spindles for the swap.

Anyway, I know ECE sells a 6 lug rotor that will work for $90 a pop, but I wondered if you guys knew anywhere cheaper?

Thanks guys!!

CPP's are $129/pair. Thats what I used. A lot of people on here have not had good luck with CPP (wrong items, cust. service etc) but I had no problems. These are the only items I have ordered from them.

I think GMC Paul sells them. Don't know the damages. Check his web site.

How is that sir?

I ask because 6 lug rotors wasn't a factory option for 2wd '73-'87 trucks.....

ECE rotors are worth the $ IMO.

There are are no direct fit 6 lug rotors in junkyards or in Advance. There were some 88-up style light duty 3/4 ton 6 lug rotors that can be used, but they are thicker than the correct rotors.

Dude, GMCPauls the most expensive I've seen at $100 per rotor.

ECE is $90.00 each

CPP is $60.00 each

Thanks guys, I think I'll end up giving CPP a try.

Do you want the best or the cheapest?

Cheapest.

I have never had a problem with CPP. Looks like they are the cheapest you have found so far. Their drop spindles work great on my 72. I see you live in Calif also. I would think sales tax would be less than paying for shipping.

Oops, you live in Bakersfield. Unless you plan on driving to Anaheim, looks like shipping and tax...bummer.

Luckily for me I am in Anaheim once a month, prob next Monday or Tuesday.

Now I just need the IRS (Federal) to pay me my money.....

6 lug rotors for $20 pair? I don't think so.
