You can get a proven name brand like Hawk and Stoptech for under $200 for a full car set on Tire Rack.

Unless it's a first rate product, Tire Rack won't sell it...

Opps, sorry, I read pads for some reason. Either way, I have never heard of that brand at all and I personally would never trust a set of rotors that cost under $200. Hard to make a quality rotor out of quality iron when you're selling them for $200 and still making a profit. This is a realistic price for a decent set of fronts. However, my opinion on brakes is certainly skewed because of what I use my cars for, but it's your car. There are plenty of people on this forum with extremely affordable rotors who like them. I'm sure after 40,000 miles they will not be as well-liked.

At the risk of being a "wet blanket", I don't think anybody has heard of them. The last 3 years, since I retired, I've been working part time at the local "big box" auto parts store, and although we mainly carry the Chinese OE replacement crap rotors, we sell some other stuff through our "HP" catalog, and even we don't have Boss rotors.
