I think my rotors are warped. So I need something for a daily driver. I'm not looking to spend $$$ for some high performance stuff, I dont want to buying the cheap overpriced autozone rotors, But I did find these on ebay

Front Rotors w/ pads.

What do ya think? Keep in mind this is a daily driver. I just want to stop the heavy vibrating on highway braking.

What exactly vibrates, the car or the steering wheel? You might want to check what the problem is before you go around buying stuff. Autozone rotors are not bad if it's just a daily driver like you claim it to be. They have cheap rotors and they also sell better ones. I would just stick to autozone and call it a day.

 

ok first off did you just install the rotors and go ?
the correct way is to install and machine the rotors since they can and will warp from been stacked on other rotors and we dont know how many other things are been place on them during shipping to the dealer and to the customer.

 

Have not had good luck with slotted/drilled rotors.

Deep gouging and premature wear. Have tried on several vehicles.

Suggest a quality solid rotor.
I have had particularly good luck with Raybestos solid "Advanced Technology (with noise reducing iron)"

Running on 3 vehicles now.

Just my experience.

I went with Brembo Blanks for my '96 when I did the Rotor Over Hub conversion. 10k mi and still strong. No vibrations what so ever.

I bought them from 88ROTORS here on HT. The rotors are awsome, however, I wouldn't recommend the PCBR Ceramic Brake Pads for the $35. They make some noise and emit alot of break dust. Other than that, its a great deal. Here is the link.

On the other hand, my wife has a set of AutoZone Blank Rotors on her car, and they warped on her in 1yrs time, both sets. I'd consider them again, but if you can wait, spend the extra few bucks per rotor and go with Brembo or something with a good reputation.

 

thanks for the replys. I ended calling them and ordering blanks rotors w/ pbr pad (not sure if ceramic) for $110 shipped.
