Default Rotor options

...my 00 Civic sedan's rotor is warped and i'm thinking of replacing them myself. what are some quality options out there? my only requirement is for it to last longer than 6 years / 58,000 miles (if there is such a rotor out there...).

Rotors are inexpensive. You can get them at any automotive store. I would think OEM rotors would last at least 6 yrs.

You can get rotors from Autozone anywhere from $18-$70 and anywhere from 3 mo. warranty to Limited Lifetime. The $18 ones are actually LLT rotors.

false.

Take the above advice and get solid (no slots/dimples/designs) rotors from your local parts store.

Cheap and effective.

Out of all the choices in this thread, I think Brembo blanks are the way to go especially for everyday driving. I have them on every car I own (prices range between $30 to $60 per corner) and I never have warping issues.

There's a group buy running in the Sponsors' forum.

Look for Rotors888 or something like that. I picked up a set of brembos for my GF's Maxima.

Best price around.

yep, i bought my last brake stuff from Rotors88, best price when i was looking.

and brembos dont come in drilled and slotted, only one or the other. most of what you see on ebay and stuff are brembo blanks that have been modified, which is RETARDED, because it weakens the rotor, and doesnt even do any good. Brembo blanks FTMFW!!
