Just talked to a supplier about a set.
$160 plus gst
Why so much and is there a place to get a cheaper set?
Also on a brighter note, $452 for new disks front/rear with new pads too

Special to hand brake only n therefore pricy? only reason I can think of assume you tried a few places, If you weigh it up they prob last a long time but how bout scroungin wreckers or even better those werckin d22s on tm etc, just act like your cheap and 30bucks is too much

Expensive because theres very little demand...
As they are for handbrake only, in theory the won't wear out.
You could try a brake specialist, see what price to rebond them would be? (or bnt as klompy suggests)
Or just get some S/H from a wrecked truck.
Yours will still work with .5mm lining. Unadjust cable, adjust up at shoes, then adjust cable travel.
But don't drive off with handbrake on or you'll wreck your new rotors if they get to steel on steel....
