Any1 have them on their car? There are two different kinds: The Valucraft and the Duralast. Any1 have any remarks on autozones' rotors as compared to brembo blanks ?

 

get the duralast they are reybestos repackaged

 

I think the Valuecraft ones are under $20...what does that tell you?

 

if you get them use the warrenty to your advantage......but them. then within 2 years go buy more rotors. Return the used ones and make sure you get them to delete your old warrenty. That way you get your money back, and 2 more years of warrenty rotors.

 

How much are the duralast running at autozone?

 

I have used them without any problems.

 

Duralast 2y warranty 27.99

Valucraft 1y warranty 19.99

I think I'm gonna get the Valucraft rotors and pair it with Valucraft semimetallic pads (14.99) or Duralast semimetallic ($25).
Are they good ?

 

I know the price might seem good for those rotors and pads, but remember we're talking about your brakes here. Your safety and the safety of others rests in those pads. Do you really want to cheap out on that stuff?

 

Go on ebay i just saw the brembo blanks the whole set for 100 and 35 dollars shipping.

 

dont get duralast semimetallic brake pads. they squeel like non other.

 

Would it be better just to get your rotor resurface with good pads?

 

For some reason I have nothing but problems with the autozone rotors not, I am going to have to go with Cdg2125 on this one dont cheap out!

 

I have the duralast rotors and i have no complaints. They came with a two year warranty so figured i would give em a try, they lasted me two years so i was happy. For the price you cant go wrong, just go for a good set of pads.

 

i used a set of duralast rotors. i work at autozone so i got them cheap. They sucked. I was running hawk pads with them, and the brake would fade like no other. I would not even be driving that hard. I would stay away form them just like most things in that store.

 

Good point.

 

Autozone = crap

 

Dont get Valucraft , I had to change them to Duralast the same day

 

I think they would be alright in the rear.

 

I have to agree. At least the Duralast rotors were beautiful and had a lot of meat to them. They work great with OEM pads. I tried the Duralast ceramic pads but they were ungodly noisey on the back. The fronts were OK. The OEM's were much better and have great feel.

jjam

 

one nice thing about the OEM Nissan rotors - all surfaces (except the friction surface) are painted with a rust preventative black paint so they won't rust.

the latest batch of OEM rotors does not have the breaker bolt holes though. but I think the center hole is a bit bigger so they don't seize on the hub. at least that was my impression when I installed them.

 

just stick w/ oem and listen to the guy that works there, dont buy anything from them besides Soap, Tools, and Battery

im sure they work, just like any other cheap pad/rotor combo, but just not as effective as oem rotor/pads

 

I've had my 96SE since day one, and the front pads were good for 80K, the rears for 110K, and at 125K the rotors still haven't gotten to the point of needing to be resurfaced. And even with very wide, high-performance rubber, I can still lock-up at well above any legal speed.
Do the math!

 

I can second that.

 

Damn I didnt see that ? I see them for $135 + shipping.

 

i gotta 99 maxima wut duralast rotors n pads i had tha car goin on 6months n tha pads wore alll tha way down 2 tha metal and my father has a 98 chevy express conversion van n tha same thing happened i donno ifits jus us its happened 2 but from my experience wit autozone stuff u wind up wastein more money n more time , im about 2 up grade 2 some brembos !

 

I work at autozone, and the only reason I bought them was because of my discount. There not bad, the valucrafts I notice have more of a vibration when you brake- the duralast are great though.
