Need some decent rotors without spending alot of $$$

Guys I just replace my tires and when I last had my brakes done I was told I would need some rotors. What is a decent rotor I can purchase? I have a 05 and I just spent $4500 on a tranny so I am not trying to break the bank on rotors. Just spending $ on maintenance getting my car back up tp par again so it can last a few years.

You can message him here, and ask for his # etc... good guy. I've gotten a bunch of stuff from him... and my slotted RTP rotors which are great!

Any suggestions really depend on driving habits/future plans for your car performance wise. If it's just a daily driver, Brembo blanks will be more than adequate.

That's what I think I need. Just some blanks. No hard driving over here unless I am on the highway.

If they are for the front, i dont think they offer brembo blanks. They do have RTP blanks which i just installed. So far they are holding up great.

Dont go cheap here, you will be replacing them again... Rotorpros seemed to be a good value/quality combo

Brembo retailer or brembo brakes, bc they dont make a slotted for our cars

They aint brembo if they slotted, however they maybe brembo blanks that someone slotted after the fact. Ive been on the rotorpros for quite sometime and even have by BMW M equipped with these. Very good customer service. Brembo only makes blanks for 6th gen
