Best aftermarket blank rotor? better than stock?
After having my front stock rotors turned twice and nearing a brake change, I want to replace my now warped again rotors.
In a nutshell, seeing as I don't want crossdrilled or slotted rotors, are there any differences between blanks?
Are the brembo blank (no cross dilling or slotting) rotors any thicker than the stock rotors? (I can't find any info).
Thanks

Brembos should not be any thicker than stock - specifications are the same. However, on some cars aftermarket rotors MAY be thicker than OEM, but I doubt it will be the case on Acura with its tight clearances.
I have heard a few times that Brembos from TireRack were warping less than stock. I have read one coment that they warped just as easily. Since any rotor can be warped by irresponible driving, this makes me believe they are better. And at $50, definetely a better deal than stock.

No, you can get Brembos from a lot of sources on the web. About 7 years ago I got a pair of cross drilled and slotted Brembos from The Brake Warehouse for my, now sold, Talon. I just recently through out the paperwork and I don't remember where they are located.
Even though I all that "extra cooling" abillity they still warped and I found out on the highway when I had to dump about 70mph and fast. The right front brake just locked and put a nice patch on the concrete.
On top that I thought they noisier than I'd be willing to put up with. There's a dull growl when you hit the brakes in just normal traffic and I have yet to find anyone that says they can resurface 'em.
