I need to replace my front brake rotors.
I found Brembo OEM rotors for $50 + free shipping and PBR rotors for $36.99.
Are there any differences in quality or performance between different OEM rotors? Should I spend the extra cash for the Brembo OEM rotors or save $30 to get 2 PBR rotors?
Any thoughts on the matter is much appreciated!

why pay that much for factory upgrades when you can spend a little more and get better? just my thoughts. i would choose the brembo over the pbr's any day

well if you have stock wheels than just get brembo rotors. It's fine. If you have bigger wheels do a bbk. It's your money why ask us how you spend it?

Even if the rotor has enough material to be turned, it may be better to just replace the rotor. Steel has a certain retention of heat-related "memory", and its possible that they might warp soon after been machined. Originally Posted by Vlasic

I replaced all 4 rotors from the group deal here on the Org from Jeff at IRP for $30 front and $30 rear. Of course, the originals were shot. Check it out

really though they are great. I don't know if I'd turn the stockers or not, kinda depends on your driving style. The brakes and Max's fade/heat up easily enough w/ the stock rotors, removing metal from them would only worsen the problem if you drive it very hard, or stop it very hard as it were...
