Part of any price difference could have to do with shipping costs. I think RotorPros is based out of SoCAL and I live in NoCAL so shipping would be relatively low. The rotors are heavy so that may impact it some...

They didn't ask where I lived or a zip. They just said 260 shipped for that same setup, but you may be right.

I agree but I also think performance Pads make a difference. When I compared the Hawk pad material to stock it seemed more robust and the it also seemed more abrasive if that makes any sense.
I agree. Pads make a huge the difference. They determine bite, fade, noise, heat, dust, etc. But everything I've read on here indicates that the stock lines are like balloons. Replacing them with SS lines is about the only way to get a good solid pedal feel.
Guess I'll find out in a week or so

Finally got around to installing the Denso Iridium plugs a couple of weeks ago. Did the change at the 60,000 mile mark and it took about 1.5 hrs with the help of a friend and all the right tools. All 8 OEM NGK's were in good shape with just a slight increase in gap. A few observations on the new plugs since the install:
Silky smooth at idle
Appears (unscientific) based on trip computer avg mpg I am seeing 1 to 2 mpg improvement on the highway. Since the plugs cost $8 each I am happy to see the increase as they will pay for themselves.
The butt meter feels like I am getting a slightly better pull at higher rpms.
Bottom line I highly recommend these...
