selecting rotors
Hello,
Looking to buy a good quality rotors for my civic si 00 .
All after market rotors in my country are generic chinese products which last about 6,000 miles only.
My options are :
- OEM rotors for $200
- international order (guess brembo and centric are good brands to consider) approx. for $ 210
Any body have experienced the differance between the above and which is the best to consider?

Re: selecting rotors
the rotor itself is not going to make the world of difference. brembo is a great company, i've used them for a while now. But if your looking for any type of noticeable difference you would be upgrading more then just the rotor

Re: selecting rotors
Forget Hawk pads. Akebono pads. Excellent stopping power plus next to no brake dust. Brembo or OEM. Makes no difference.
