whats the best deal one can get for front rotors only
Is the vaining the same as the GSR, so cooling will be equal or better? Vaining different and similar to MR disks?
man these are hot, i would get them, but i dont need them yet...
Any issues or differences when resurfacing these compared to the stock rotors?

Sent you a PM.
Yes the vane pattern is similar to both the GSR and MR 2pc Rotors.
Well when you are ready well have some here waiting for you.
Procedures for resurfacing the rotors are the same. Many shops will try and tell you that the slotted will damage their lathe but we surface all our 2pc rotors in house and have run thousands of slotted and crossdrilled rotors on our lathe with no issue. These rotors are made from a ductile iron which is denser then standard gray iron like the OE rotors so you will be resurfacing them less and father between.

Just to clarify, these one piece rotors are slightly lighter than stock and around $500 for a set.
The two piece rotors are quite a bit lighter but are around $1550 for a set.
I found the specific weight loss stats here:

I'm actually getting my front rotors replaced under warranty as I started to get slight warpage in late summer and after they recently tried resurfacing they became horribly warped on my trip down to Florida. Likely next year I'll get front 2 piece rotors and maybe the rear 1 piece rotors. That gets me the lighter weight up front where it counts most and lower overall cost compared to replacing rears with the 2 piece as well.

EDIT: oops, just realized you were talking of front + rear prices. My apologies.
