Where's the best place to buy new rotors and OEM pads? I want to go with OEM pads but I want generic rotors to save a little bit. There isn't a huge difference between OEM and generic rotors, right? Wouldn't mind buying online or at a B&M store. Thanks.

 

Get zinc plated rotors, or else it will rust. I got some cheap non-zinc ones and they got rusty after a few hundred miles. Doesn't look too good.

 

PM AuToMaX_95 he'll give you a GREAT price on Rotors and Pads...

I got my new front rotors at Autozone for $22 a piece w/ a 3 yr limited warranty (i doubt the warranty is that significant but you never know when you'll need it) Front brake pad set for $18 and rear brake pad set for $16 I believe.

 

dont get the autozone pads. they will squeek. get the oem pads. should be around $50. at napa the list price for rotors are $23 rears and $28 for front each. i just got them on the other day. they work just as oem. but i bought oem pads for $65 incl tax.

 

Do you know this from experience? Or do you just think they'll probably squeak because they're cheap. Also, kind of a dumb question but what pads are recommended? I bought semi-metallic for both the front and rear, is that good?

 

AXXIS ultimates are probably the best but I personally rather go with OEM pads...
