Yeah, I remember the days of $80 rotors. $18-22 is much nicer. The only thing I dislike about this design (other than the small ass access holes you can't fit a normal bolt/socket through) is the wheel speed sensor being inclusive in the hub. I've had an ABS light on for a few months due to a gummed up sensor, and you have to remove the hub to change it out. (unless you have midget hands and are good with mirrors)
