Default Premium or ultra premium NAPA rotors?

Which ones are you guys using?

Looks like about $5 difference between the two. I didn't know if anyone had better luck out of one or the other.


Also is there any real reason to buy NAPA's over RAYBESTOS (professional grade). I can get them from rock auto for about $50 less for the set.

As far as I can tell, they are the same rotor made by the same company (Brake Parts, Inc., McHenry, IL). Why pay $5 more for a different box.

I have run both. They all crack. Buy spares. I usually buy from RockAuto.com about $100 for set of front and rears incl. shipping.

Ran standard NAPA rotors all last year without any problems. Did switch to Rock Auto Raybestos for this year. Have 3 sets in trailer now ready for first weekend.

Thanks guys. I will be picking them up from Rock Auto. I like the idea of saving money where I can.
