 Price is $143. Whatta ya think? Would it work on the SOHC4's?

Hi There, Where do you source them.?   I'm finding it a little hard getting rotor info on whats available. Most rotor sellers just say its a replacement for such and such a model// No info on offsets/ bolt patterns etc

 For one the ID will be bigger.   The  diameter if bigger will open up a whole other problem..

not sure if it's an upgrade but I have been really pleased with Godffrey's rotors... OEM ones, takes them down properly and drills them... I think they are 4mm thick, dissapates heat faster and are simply cool!!!!He has a thread on parts for sale or services thread

+2 for Godffrey's rotor thinning/drilling service. Super nice and professional. My 2 550 rotors weight the same as one stocker now.
