Was doin research on here and links from here for my 350z (sittin on staggered 20's) and couldnt come up with a solution. all i got at the end of the day was that rotors are all metal and expensive brands just slap a brand name on them and charge a grip when u can buy ebay rotors that are slotted and do just as good a job. main point is i need rotors, badly, my current stock ones (30,000 miles) are lookin like a plate! any suggestions lookin for economical prices. good lookin on da info

 

Centric sells various PREMIUM grades of plain surface decent rotors we use them in our 3 independent shops when our Lexus and Infiniti customers don't want to pay the cost of oem. About 80% chose Centric vs oem.

Not sure why people think all rotors are made equally.

 

not for nothing but if thats the conclusion you came up with, you didn't really look into this carefully enough

not all rotors are created equal by any means. While its true that the most expensive solution is not always the best, it's far from true that el cheapo rotors are good, or even decent.

So, the first thing to decide for yourself is what you are using the car for. Given that you've got 20's, I'm going to venture its purely street use. What pads are you running or do you intend to run (since your rotors are in that poor a shape, your pads are shot too). From there, it's easier to make recommendations

 

you can order front and rear slotted or drilled discs from brembo for about $250 for all four wheels.

Why would you skimp on brakes?

 

no you can't Those are not Brembo rotors for sure - it might come in a Brembo box, but they are not Brembo rotors

 

Brembo contracts for various GRADES of blanks at various price points to service the world market.

The question is where was the cast iron poured and what among the 6 grades it was?

 

Thats a good point, some of the brembo rotors ive seen said made in Mexico on them, some said Made in EU, some said made in Italy.

 

yeah i use my car street mainly, i already changed the brakes pretty sure they got about 7-10k miles, some akebonos the rear still look good

 

so would these be the rotors to go with? hook it up wit a link, im pretty sure they would be better than the saucers i got on right now. i cant even drive quickly anymore cuz i gotta slow down with some time , f'ningstock rotors
