  • brake rotor suggestions

    I dont have a ton of money. I ws looking at the full rotor/pad kits on ebay for under $200 but I dont want to buy junk either. I also looked at doing brembo blanks. What are your suggestions.

    Generally anything by AC Delco, or Hawk is pretty good.

    I have seen the ones on eBay too but an too scared to buy something that looks cool but could perform like crap.

    As for the brembo blanks, do you have the stock calipers?

                raybestos blanks here and theyve been great. No warping or anything and they have been road raced too.

                  Centric Blanks...They are $50 each, highway robbery. They've lasted me over 5 years but I just changed them this week. They use the same rotor for the performance version which is called the power slot and those are $100 each.
                  $80 for hawk ceramics, and you're in for $180. Spend more on good pads than rotors. Don't install the chatter plates mine were causing grinding on the top of the rotor.
                  Rears have different part numbers but here's the fronts.
