I am almost positive that they had them on for around $1200 at some point, I would try to get them for that. You can also try pm to Kevin to see how much he paid.
DIY...Big Brake Kit for Under 2k

"How long do they last"
Mine looked like new after 10K miles on the street. If you are doing track time the price does not matter that much as one run into the Aramco from brake fade would by many sets of rotors.

$1380 for the 370mm rotors
$1244 for the rears
I finally got these mounted a few weeks ago. Took them almost 12 weeks to deliver these. They initially made the wrong hats for the fronts and it pushed back the delivery 3 weeks.
I couldn't get the refurbed red calipers as I originally wanted, so I just kept these yellow and bought the yellow calipers for the rear.
Weight saving on the rear wasn't as much as they specify. My 2016 MX rotors weigh 23.56#
The 2-piece fronts are marginally lighter than stock only by 3oz.
Overall the unsprung weight on the front went up because the loaded calipers are much heavier than stock.
Brakes feel exactly the same to me. I'm sure they wouldn't get heat soaked as quickly on a track, but I'll never have the chance because the nearest one is 2500 miles away.

That would be great; I still have some missing details like set screw and the floating screw retainers. How can I send you my step file?
Thought I’d fill you guys in on the development!!!
I didn’t want to void my warranty by drilling out the caliper mounting holes to 14mm so we modified the calipers instead. We made inserts for the caliper to go from 14mm to 12mm. Let me know what you think.

Awesome work, I like the insert idea. So you drilled out the calipers and put the inserts in? Did you make the inserts or buy them? Judging by your pics of the Cad you made them?
Did you end up making your own hats for the rotors?
Yeah, truly direct bolt-on setup! We made the hats for the 370mm rotors and inserts too. Simply drilled out the calipers and pressed the inserts. Fits like a glove
Keeping the same rotor setup for now. Still thinking about a 2peice rotor solution for rears.
Ya wasn't worth it to go bigger on rears for me since they barely even get used. I really had to stomp on the brakes to even burnish new rotors.
Weight is a none factor for me also.
Was just curious if you did anything there.
I'd do this again, loving the brakes over oem well over a year later. Minimal rust on rotors after rain and great engagement after rain as well. In my oems I barely had any stopping power first use after rain. I had to remember to use the brakes hard right away to burnish the rust off.
A few money shots

Gotta love when your rotors are bigger than the entire wheels on cars. On that note, you’re .75inches shy of having larger brake rotors than the Tesla Roadster had wheels.
