Anybody know where I can get a pair of rear brake rotors online (at a reasonable price and reasonable shipping)? I'm not having any luck finding them online. I need the 5-lug rotors. PP is charging $100 to ship a pair of rotors! My mechanic screwed up drilling the 4-lug rotors I bought.

Eric Shea may stock the 914/6 rear rotors. The suckers are heavy so shipping is not cheap but $100 is a bit steap. They should fit into a flat-rate box for a really low shipping cost.

Can do... I have a new supplier now. Did I mention Worldpac S-U-C-K-S

Eric, I sent you a PM.

Looks like either the shipping rates dropped drastically in the last few weeks or I'm an idiot. Shipping is now $40.75.

Can I have the drilled holes welded closed and then have new holes drilled? Would this weaken or warp the rotors? Or do I suck it up and spend the $200 or so on new /6 rotors?

flat rate shipping, priority mail, via usps will be under $10 per box. NO WEIGHT LIMITS. you could prob fill the box with a block of lead and the price would be the same. the post office gives the boxes away.

What exactly did the guy do when drilling the rotors? Normally, one hole is used for the five bolt pattern, and four others are drilled on the same 130mm bolt circle, 72º apart. Pretty tough for a compentent machinist to get wrong. Welding up the rotors may be tricky, but it is possible.
