Advance Auto or Autozone brand brake rotors
I have a set of these wearever brand rotors on each of our cars. Compared to other brands like brembo or wagner, they seem to be poorer in quality. They seem to warp much sooner than any other rotor. Obviously they are less expensive than other brands but i do beleive that i just purchased my last set of store branded rotors last december.
I always keep my receipts, so i still have them and each respective store said that they will exchange them for me.
The brake pad wear should be fine but i'll have to make sure in order to exchange them.

IMO when it comes to brakes I don't like to play around with parts that are regular store brand or discount! I mean brembo has such a huge backing so it's expected to be durable however some smaller brands such as the ones you see on ebay are pretty shady like the "specialty cross drilled" rotors.

Oh yeah, e-bay is a big no-no for me. Years ago i purchased an upper a-arm for a 95 accord and the quality was def not the same.
I think going oem or a higher quality rotor will be in store for the next brake jobs in a few years.

I bought a set of Wearever rotors for my RL back in October 2010 and I think they are warped already. I can feel the steering wheel shake and brake pedal pulse whenever I brake hard from 50mph. They're cheap and that's why I'm paying for it right now.

I exchanged the rotors for the 4runner today at auto zone. When i called to make sure they had two in stock i asked about the pads and they said they'd replace them too since the rotors were being exchanged.
I wasn't expecting that. So now i have two new front rotors and pads exchanged at no charge.
