Are they freaking serious?
I went to the local bike shop to get a price for 2 front EBC full floating rotrs and one rear flat solid EBC rotor and the total price before tax was around $750! Are these things made of gold?
There has got to be a better place to get them. ANybodyin the UK recommend a good parts supplier?

You could try these, but with customs duty and postage they might not be any cheaper:

Sounds about right to me. Modern bike rotors - especially floaters are expensive (especially with a weak dollar). You could save some by getting a low mileage used one for the rear and /or go for solid ones on the front as per stock

I checked solid ones and they are more money.
Bikbandit.com looks to be about $300 cheaper with the Cdn and USA dollars near par but I am not sure of import duties.
A lot of the Cdn dealers still are charging prices like the when dollar was at 59cents US!

I am going to check Demon Tweeks in the UK. I know I've seen brake rotors for less money.
Exchange rates looks pretty good too, roughly $2 Cdn per 1 pound sterling.
