The roundness issue you are talking about, is that the 'whooomm' noise I'm hearing when I really get on them? I haven't felt any vibration or anything in the pedal during braking. I've been very pleased with these rotors but I can't make a comparison to a turbo OEM.

The roundness issue really isn't a problem under normal braking, it's only an issue for the parking brake.

If you adjust the parking brake too close to the rotor it may rub when the wheel moves.

Oh okay, I gotcha now. That's not really a problem for me, I've got plenty of parking break lever travel.

Yes, they should be able to. Part number 26310AA151. I'd expect to pay $50-$60 from a discount dealer, or $80-$100 from a rip-you-off dealer.

Just ordered a set of Brembo solid rear rotors and a set of PBR Metal Master pads from http://www.all-foreign.com. The total shipped (which was free) came to $88.62. Not bad. :)
