I've posted before but did not get good responses.
Please let me know if you guys tried cheaper rotors or premium brands and if you experienced any differences.
The originals are Brembos I think.
I need to buy them soon! Please let me know if I should just get the cheaper ones or pay extra for premium ones.
They range from $50- to about 150$ a pop.
Thanks!

 

i went with EBC slotted/dimpled rotors w/ hawk ceramic pads. had very harsh squeaking (more like screaming), so i swapped the ceramic pads for hawk hps pads. unfortunately, that didn't fix the noise issue. not sure if it's the rotors or pads, but i'm starting to wish i went a different direction.

 

How much were the rotors?

 

i got the front 2 rotors for about $250.

 

I've run NAPA Premium rotors as an OE replacement with no problem. Something like $65 each.

If you have aType-S Auto, make sure they give your rotor for the Brembo calipers. Their original parts finder showed the regular AT rotor for the Type-S. May be fixed by now through.


I've also run Stop-Tech slotted with good results.

 

I have some autozone rotors on mine. No problems. Cost like $50-60 each?

 

If you want a premium blank disc I'd recommend the STOPTECH blanks.

Qty of 2 required for the front.

 

At about 1/2 the price of the OE blanks.

 

$74 each!?!?! You can get the centric/stoptech/powerslot slotted curved-vane rotors for that price with the better alloy... lol

If I were to buy brakes for my brembos, I would go with stoptech pads and the centric/stoptech/powerslot rotors.

Left Rotor: 126.40062SL
Right Rotor: 126.40062SR
Front Pads: 309.10010

PS: Always search the aftermarket part numbers on google and ebay before buying. You can get way better prices and usually find coupons too that make parts really cheap. Especially when it comes to competitive market of brake parts.

 

Another tip, if you find an ebay seller with a great price that has a real online store, parts are almost always cheaper direct from their website (like finditparts.com). Plus you can usually find coupons too.

Also you can find the centric-premiums (stoptech blank) for $48 on that same site.

Part number: 120.40062

 

Good advice!
