I know you can get our rotors for cheap, but is it from NAPA, Auto Zone, Advanced, etc.?

Thanks,
Brian :cheers:

Check out Advance Auto Parts they have some slotted and cross drilled rotors for a decent price, also ceramic pads. I am planning on using them when I do mine later this year.

I wouldn't mine getting some slotted rotors for the fronts for the track...

At NAPA online, they didnt have pics. Are these rotors really OEM replacements as far as quality and performance? Or is it safe to say with these rotors, "you get what you pay for"?

If they are a part number that has a 86700 to 86703 they are Raybestos Professional Grade and they are very good. They are made in McHenry Ill or I have seen some from Canada. I and another fellow in our club, have been using them on roadcourses and daily driving since last summer and they have held up very well. In fact mine seem to have less micro cracks than the OEM rotors I used to get. We actually get ours ar http://www.rockauto.com where they are only $18.32 - 18.72. They carry the same part numbers only the Rock auto start with a 5 while the Napa starts with an 8. Interestingly the rotor itself have neither first number on it just 6700 and e.t.c. You can see the actual rotor at http://www.raybestos.com/usa/rotors.htm under PG Plus.

At first I thought this was too good to be true but quite a few forum members have reported good results with them.

I got mine @ NAPA for ~$25 each. The important thing to note on these, as I'm guessing would be the case with any other rotor than GM, is that the hats are not painted and will quickly develop surface rust and it does not look good. Paint the hats prior to mounting. Other than that they are as good as any other rotor (non slotted or drilled) as far as I can tell. :thumbs:

Do you know of a paint or process that will keep the paint on when they really get hot on a roadcourse? The OEM painted rotors bubbles off and then rusts in spots which looks worse than no paint.

I used the two part brake caliper paint on my hats and 5K later it still looks good

Haveyou had them on a roadcourse whre they really heat up?

Check the for sale sections, some guys take these off right away and put aftermarkets on. I've seen them sold really cheap there.

That's a good idea.... I'm going to change pads soon and if I need rotors I'll grab a set. I don't think I need rotors they don't have much hard use on them.
