Precisely why I want ceramic pads for the front, at least.

I'm having absolutely no luck with Amazon for the Power Slot rotors. I can find the right rear, but none of the others with the rest of the set will ship to an APO. I've found one, but it is ridiculously expensive. This is starting to frustrate me, now.

FOUND THEM! Got the set through 4wheelparts.com WITH SHIPPING for less than the price of the "free shipping" other places. I know they factor in a bit extra to make up for the free shipping, but I was surprised, as I'd pretty much written off 4WP, but checked as a last resort. I'm a happy camper. Now, I just need to get set on some brake pads...

The front rotors are also bigger, I believe.

Disregard on the 4WP purchase. They emailed and said that they don't ship to APO's, either. Would have been nice to know that when they calculated the order BASED ON THE ADDRESS I ENTERED.

Checked eBay for them? There was a site on there a while back that had them dirt cheap. That or try http://www.3rdstrikeperformance.com/ and see what Duane has in stock. He usually will price match any advertised price and ships quick.

Thanks, I'll look into 3rdstrikeperformance. No luck on ebay when I looked the other day. I figured ebay and Amazon were my last resorts. 4WP replied and said they'd ship USPS (vice UPS or FedEx which does not deliver to APO's) for $78.00. It's still cheaper, total, than many other places were WITH their "free shipping" price. I'll check that site, but I'm probably going to end up going with the 4WP offer. Just sucks because the price was THAT good to begin with. Too good, I guess...

Not sure if you have found a set or not but check out the Brake Motive Ebay store.

Holy Resurrection, Brakeman!

I appreciate the direction, but I ordered from 4WP, anyway. I JUST got an e-mail on Monday or Tuesday that said they finally shipped. I was thinking they sent them by slow boat (which takes between 60-120 days!), but it looks like they went Priority Mail, which is via air. So, hopefully the APO system will macht's schnell and I'll have the rotors in some time next week. The Hawk pads came in last Monday and are sitting downstairs just waiting...

Thanks, again.
