For around $150 a pair, why not just fit new standard rotors - a lot safer than what you have.
While I'm sure the Cebco package is good, upgrading to AU2 or BA/BF/Terry brakes is way cheaper and just as effective.

I would give Repco or Autobarn a call and use there rotors not ebay.Get genuine ford pads are best to use.Other wise get cebco straight away which will cost about $1500 for front set.Cebco brakes are good but there are other brands available.

I hope you haven't just disconnected you ABS and are planning on using non-abs rotors on an abs equipped car. You do say it is a high series, brakes are not something to be played with or have cheap parts used on.

http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11193911 Have you done a full foot to the floor (and hold it) stop? Is your abs light on. If the light on the dash isn't illuminated, you probably still have your abs. Just go for a drive and do an emergency stop from 60kays. If your pedal's pulsing your abs is fine and Ford are trying to extort money from you. If your abs light is on, and the brake test shows no pulsing, take your car to brakes plus or equivalent and ask them to check it for you. All the best with it. GK

I got a complete BA brake conversion from Ford Holden & 4WD wreckers in Brissy for $550 (plus freight to Newie!). Way cheaper than anywhere else although someone posted in the last few days they got theirs for $250 IIRC... lucky bastard.
That included lower control arms, uprights, sway bar & brackets, calipers & rotors. If you can't get one much under $1K then check out my post on the EA-AU1 upgrade.

In some parts of the country the wreckers know this is a popular conversion and can charge accordingly. If you have time to look & find a country wrecker you should be able to get a price like that... I didn't at the time and $550 was good compared to $1000 from one wrecker and $800 from another.
I used one of the online part locator sites, there are a few, they can turn up some reasonable prices quickly, but I'd use yellow pages to find country wreckers for the best prices.

My local Ford wrecker reckons the lower control arms are getting rare & expensive in Newcastle as taxi owners are snapping them up to rebuild front ends. $100 for calipers & rotors sounds about right.
If my local wrecker had any, she'd charge about $450 for a pair of S2/3/BA lower control arms alone.
