Replacing front rotors on 04 RL

Hello everyone I have a question regarding replacement front rotors for an 04 RL. I am trying to figure out of I can use 96- 99 front rotors on my 04 (might have a great deal if I can go this route). And also what brand rotors would any of you guys recommend? Thanks

I just put Centric on my 99. I had the same on my 01 for a few months and they seem to be good.

Not sure if they would fit or not. Can you check tire rack and see if the part numbers are the same?

You can go to BrakePerformance.com they have good rotors at a very good price. Also, I have been using Akebono brakes and they are superb.

99-04 rotors are the same size but 96-98 are different; they're a little smaller. I've used napa, advanceauto, autozone, carquest rotors and they're all the same. Most aftermarket rotors will rust like crazy though.

The rotors at Brakeperformance.com will come coated to prevent flash rust. Also, I don't think Akebono makes rotors, but I love their brake pads.
