AutoZone's Duralasts are a good cheap choice but use the search button as there are currently tons of threads on this topic.

BREMBO BLANKS.

They dont seem to warp easily and there only like 60something a piece from Tirerack. Most will say Brembo blanks. I took this advice about six months ago and it turned out to be really good advice.

My stockers were warped bad: replaced them with Brembos, drove the **** out of 'em and the Brembos are still in perfect condition.

You should be happy with either of the above choices if your looking for bang-for-the-buck...

I just happened across these on tirerack and was curious from an info stand point if anyone knows anything about them

http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brake...ors&perfCode=P

I still think that either of the above is the best way to go, but as I've followed these threads all the time, I haven't seen anyone discuss these rotors.

Actually, the "best bang for the buck" would have to go to the ones I got from O'Reilly Autoparts. Are they any better than the Autozone ones? Nope - they're the same exact thing. But, O'Reilly will replace them if they warp!

I do auto-xing and RRing, so I've warped a few. I used to go to Autozone and plop down the $40 or so, figuring it was the cost of doing business. But, now I just go to O'Reilly, plop down the old rotor and receipt, and they give me a new one!

What is the part number(front & rear) for the O'Reilly brake rotors that you are referring to? Thanks.
