Duralast vs. Wagner Howdy! I am thinking of getting all new rotors and brake pads and yes i have ASR. I would prefer to stick away from crossdrilled rotors and slotted if at all possible and want something thats cheap. I know that the oreilly and autozone stores have these rotors and pads and as i recall both are lifetime warranty. I have 80k miles on my current rotors and around 20k on my pads.
Which is better and why?

If you want good pads then go with Bendix. There is hardly any brake dust on my wheels. They have probably 30 track passes on them and numerous street races. They are great pads

Dude, you're crazy! Why would you NOT want cross-drilled and slotted rotors!? I hear all the cool people have them! 
Seriously, I can't say anything bad about my experience with Duralast rotors, which worked very nicely in a modest daily-driver role for me (unlike the Brembo blanks folks talk so highly about).

Im happy with my duralast rotors. My duralast pads on the other hand......one day I was out "playing" with my windows down, and thats basicly all I could smell, lol. I didnt expect the pads to take that kind of abuse, but its just my experiece.
