Shopping for rotors

Just curious...
Im shopping for rotors and im wondering where everyone recommends to shop, whether it be the site to get them for the cheapest, or the site you feel serves the best quality.
Please post some sites I can search in.

Thank you in advance!

For anything slotted/x-drilled, I've just search around until if find myself a good deal. On good ol' fashion blanks, I go local because they can be had for as low as $12 bucks per rotor, depending on the car.

I bought the "premium" at Napa and I feel the quality is quite good. $38/ea front and $25/ea rear.

The Napa Premium rotors come with a lifetime replacement warranty. I hear they are very good rotors.

Centric makes very good premium rotors as well that have an E-coating that protects against ugly-rusty look.

I bought my Centric rotors from RockAuto. If you go that route, search online for a 5% off coupon for RockAuto. It will save you an additional 5% off your entire purchase.

What pads did you end up with?

Let us know what you decide as far as the rotors are concerned.

I got my Brembo OE rotors from importrp, here on the org group deal. Good prices, fast shipping, good communication.
But as said previously about the Brembo rotors, they start to rust instantly. I had them on for a week and the rust has started.

yea. here are shots.







they looked like that after the first rain.

frustrated, i got the cheapest zinc plated rotors off tirerack in place. they are still rust-free after several rains.
