Aftermarket Rotors
Hey Guys,
I think I'm getting new rotors because mine are warped and cause serious vibration. Does anyone know of any good aftermarket rotors for an automatic TL or should I get just stock ones from the dealer?
Thanks.

on a budget go to NAPA or kragen
Stock rotors suck as you know now~ dont replace with the same
For all out performace see vendors Excelerate and MrHeelToe
Drop $350 on front pads and 2 rotors there and have awesome braking

Check out www.placeforbrakes.com or www.rockauto.com.
They seem to have the best deals on brake components.

Just installed the rotora drilled and slotted rotors with hawk ceramic pads on both the front and rear. Looks great and feels awesome....stopping definately improved.
I got them from Josh at excelerate.
Oh and not a single squeal so far.....but its only been a couple days.

Another alternative is Racing Brake rotors with Racing Brake ET series pads. Also from a site vendor - Mr HeelToe.

new brakes need about 500 miles to get fully bedded in
If you think of the rotor and pad surfaces as having micro mountains and valleys that need to match up to each other, it makes more sense.
When that is complete you really have 100% contact under braking
New brakes???- brake early for stops, use medium to firm effort, You dont want to be gentle and glaze them and you dont want to take them to ABS either
