Just buy stock rotors. Go Pep boys or autozone. I have Brembos, and love them, but I drive a Indy car.

do NOT buy autozone rotors. they are really bad. my braking power has diminshed and feel spongy. even though i just put them on about 3 months ago, im going to take them off and put on brembo rotor blanks instead.

I just put on a set of $20 autozone rotors last week and they work great.

Please explain how a brembo hunk of cast iron is better than any other hunk of cast iron.

Thanks.

I don't see how rotors can make the brakes feel spongy...

Go Brembo blanks. The composition of the Brembo may be superior to the China rotors, and most likely is far superior. There are many, many different recipe's for the type of iron used in brake rotors.
