Default Where to find DBA Front Rotors?

I just bought some Akebono pads from Amazon, Front DBA Gold Rotors from EE, and Rear DBA Gold Rotors From HawkPads something. I found out today that the front rotors that I order from EE where not the right ones; they were the only ones they had. So now I'm trying to google up a place to find them and I literally can't find any anywhere. I already installed the rear rotors and pads, so I'd obviously prefer to have DBA golds on the front too - or at least any DBA's. Any information would be great.

Or, these were P38 rotors, so they would fit but the part that sits on the hub is not as deep. Would there be any bracket that would extend the caliper mount forward that extra amount? I know that's a long shot.

Pretty sure they don't make DBA's for DII's anymore. I bought dimpled and slotted EBC's but in reality, a decent set of plain old rotors is a better choice. They don't look as cool but with more surface against the pad they work better. Unless you have issues with brake fade from repeated stops from 100 mph to 0 or from trying to slow down a heavy trailer on a long descent, you won't need drilled and slotted rotors.

Trying to move the caliper out won't work unless you have the wheels spaced out too. Sounds like you need to send the rotors back and try something else. If you need to match the back, maybe some EBC's and a can of high-temp gold paint?

Give CarID.com a try. I bought a set of DBA rotors (T3 slotted) from them. I believe they may have what you're looking for.

Sorry about that haha, I had a tab on my browser open of the fronts and then opened your link in a new tab and accidentally clicked on the tab I had up already. Yeah I found that the 4528's are for the front and yes hawks pads has them for $280 for the pair..that sucks compared to the $140 I thought I was getting them for from EE when I ordered the wrong ones but I just found out with the rear rotor set I ordered from hawk pads, they sent me the right sizes but the wrong model - one that's much cheaper than what the description and picture had and than what I paid for. So I'm pretty pissed and will call them and maybe I'll see if they'll discount the fronts for me because of their screw up trying to pull one over on me.

Thanks for the links!
