Has anyone used the C7 Z06 brake rotors on a 6-piston swap?

Just curious if anybody has done it. Looks like the rotors are about 900$ a set from GM, but if you could get them cheaper it should save you having to machine the rotors.

You say that, but I was living in germany when I bought mine, I had my rotors shipped to my folks house in the St. Paul Minneapolis area.
I had my folks call around, and the cheapest they found was nearly $200 for the machining.
So if you got them as take off's, or at slightly less than list you could come out ahead and save yourself a trip to the machine shop, or in my case an extra 50-60$ extra shipping of heavy *** brake rotors

No one around my area (around 8 shops) would touch them because they are part of the brakes and are a "liability" The one shop that said he would do them wouldn't give me a price, he said "I have to get them in setup in my machine and see how long that takes me, I would need them for a day." So I knew he was going to rob me. I had to bring them to my buddy 2 hours away in a different state to get them turned.
