Default Good rotors?? What to choose?

I already bought some new pads (bendix pads IQ for about 3 bucks ) and now I want to buy some rotors. I dont want to spend alot. I want to spend the least amount of money. Im a cheapo.

Do you NEED new rotors? OR can they be turned?

why spend more on worse rotors?

Get brembo blanks, if your too poor to spend money on brake pads, dont spend more money on WORSE rotors ( drilled or slotted) just cause ya think they look good. If anyone wants to know WHY drilled and/or slotted rotors suck, PM me.

Hopefully this will not turn into a "drilled/slotted vs blank" thread again...

Anyways, screw brembo blanks. Get autozone blanks for 20$. Lifetime warantee too.

i rock brembo slotted

only thing im aware of wrong with drilled or slotted is rotors that are drilled after casting (most drilled)

other than that its build quality.

But Brembo doesn't do both. Most of the time it's some garage that's doing it for you and selling them at a profit. YOu're not getting guaranteed craftsmanship, and they usually do it incorrectly so the rotors are actually weakened.

I'm not going to get into the 'drilled slotted or blank' argument either, but i'm going to disagree based on quality and reliability.
