sunset, you have no clue. squealing has nothing to do with the rotors. For the most part all you want from a rotor is one that will not crack or warp. Autozone's, although made in china, are better than stock and almost as good as Brembo's (when they were made in usa).
Squeal is caused by pad material, shims, seized guide pins, worn or missing spring clips...or a combinations of such. Did you try using ebc red anti-squeal junk?

Tire Rack also stocks Brembo blanks for our cars. But I would rather buy them (for about the same price anyway) from Sam (Stranoparts). He gives priceless info/help/suggestions, forgot more about these cars than anyone at TR will EVER know about them (they are mostly BMW/import fanboys over there), and has tried/driven just about every combo possible as far as brakes and suspension on 4th gen f bodies goes.
are the brembo blanks actually better than say o reilley house brand or they have another brand called wagner...
if so whts the differance? thickness? material?
is it worth it because o reilley house brand is only 29.99 a rotor...brand new

The Brembo blanks probably have the best metallurgy and venting of any of the OEM replacements, and therefore are the least prone to warping. But I've heard the AZ Duralasts are not too far behind them in quality. Either way, they are BOTH better than stock, or any of the cheaper Asian made rotors.
