Exclamation Brakes/Rotors - Information Provided

I NEED to find some quality rotors to replace the OEMs that are currently on my optima. They are warped and aren't doing their job. I wanted to purchase from R-Rotorz but they're not currently selling on eBay. It's been three weeks since they sold any rotors and wonder where they've gone.. newayz, any information would be appreciated! Thanks!

It's all good, I've purchased a set of cross-drilled and slotted rotors from "Race Concepts" from Garden Grove, Ca.
The set of (2) Front and (2) Rears were $146.99 +shipping

We'll see how they are when they get here!

Here's what it looks like:

Keep us posted since I'm looking to get some too. I saw them and I was going to ask if anyone has bought these yet. I guess that's you.
