Why is this................???

why is this $1,620.00:

http://www.conceptzperformance.com/C...769.249.80.157

and this $1,900.00:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/INFIN...Q5fAccessories

Could it be because the latter is dealers prices?

whats the difference between these kits besides the stoptech rotos?

it's golden rule that dealerships charge more, no doubt about that there.

main difference is the rotors, slotted rotors disipate the heat energy much better than a regular flat rotor. i'm not so keen on drilled rotors b/c the metal can crack

Yup I'd take Slotted/dimpled rotors over slotted/Cross-drilled rotors anyday.

i would go with http://www.conceptzperformance.com/C...769.249.80.157

b/c it allows you to choose just slotted rotors, look at the style drop down menu on the web page

oem ones from riverside are just flat ones

the other link has a pic of both cross drilled and slotted together. but they allow you choose if you want that or just drilled or just slotted

its black, thinking about going with glossy black for the calipers. i dont want to get too sporty. i want to maintain the luxury feel in all my after market mods,...so i think glossy black for the calipers would be a nice touch since the car is black

i agree, that will look nice, i painted mine red but i think black would have been wiser....oh well...too late now
