after market rotors/brakes noise????
I am experiencing warped rotors and would like to get new ones. I placed several calls to different dealers and a repair shops that service Acura. They all told me that after market rotors will make more noise (squeaking) than OEM rotors. Are you guys experiencing this?
Please let me know what you guy think. Thanks in advance.

I drive with my windows open and a lot of times the radio off, if there any noise, I'd notice it and I haven't heard anything. I have the irotors with Axxis MM pads.

LOL; they want you to buy their rotors of course for $$ reasons.
I replaced my stock rotors with Brembo blank rotors, which are made to the OEM specs. They cost me $50 a piece (tirerack.com); call up the parts department at your Acura dealership and ask them for "pricing on a front rotor for a 2000 TL"; I guarantee you it will be SIGNIFICANTLY more.
I can't discern any diff in sound between these and the originals, though I am using Acura pads.

Noise comes form pad mostly, so make sure you get good pads. I got mine from Tirerack with rotors (Hawk HPS Street brake pads). BTW, Brembo blanks went up in price there - $72 each now.
