actually there was a post on here a while back where people said some of the best rotors for warpage and wear were the cheap autozone rotors. autozone carries raybestos to go with their cheap rotors so i dont see what would be wrong with that combination

Oddly enough some of the AutoX guys will tell you the same or lots of Honda guys have learned that the Autozone rotors stand up to hear and wear better than some aftermarket companies.

By the way, the stillen and brembo rotors are the same thing

STillen or SouthWestAutoWorks.com are my top pics. I think stillen's having a sale on brake parts right now. SWAW shoudl be able to top stillen's price. So call up stillen, bargain as much as you can, then call up SWAW.

since the pad is more important anyways, it doesn't really matter what rotor you use, I got all of mine at autozone for like 33 bucks each, and I went to the track w/ them, they're fine, nothing wrong w/ them, it's just a rotor just don't get cross drilled crap, if you want to go fancy get slotted, but for anything other then serious track even that would be a waste of money

I would get Brembo rotors at NOPI, fronts $32 each and rears $38 each. This comes out to $140 plus shipping. If you want cross dimpled, slotted and plated rotors I would use the Raceconcept.net group deal, $200 for all 4 plus shipping. Shipping from LA area to Charlotte NC was $33 and change!

IMO the pad, rotor and tire are equally important in optimum safe braking. I do not cut corners on any of them! It is all that stands between you and an accident!
