brake rotors - autozone...

[turboedpickup]

people say that you can cheap out on rotors...it's the pad that's important. i finally got some hawk hps pads...and now i'm shopping for rotors...

are these the "autozone-special" rotors that i can buy instead of the brembo blanks?

they're $15 each i think... but yeah.

carpart.com has Brembo blanks for low prices, not quite AS cheap as that, but if you like warped rotors, go with the cheap ones. They are so good at warping, you'll create your own black hole and travel faster than the speed of light.

Yeah but if hit the right warp a time warp you could go back in time before you warped them and everything would be OK:noway:

i picked up some nice cross drilled and slotted baer rotors from performancecenter. i love them with my nissin performance pads.

i have a set of the autozone rotors with hawk hp+ pads have had them on for a year with heavy driving and still no warpage so it all about how much money you can spend remember at the end of the day you can probably buy 2 sets of autozone rotors and still be chaper than one set of brembo blanks. just my .02

[Hellhatch]

For daily driving they should be fine just break them in right.

[christopher_davis]

Screw autozone and they're chinese made crap. Save your money and shop for something made elsewhere. Just my .02

I think it's Autozone Gold or something that you should go for. They still warp/crack but they have a warranty so you get a new rotor for free every time it happens.

Autozone doesnt sell Duralast Gold rotors.. atleast not the one I work at. They only sell Valucraft ~20-30 with 1 year warranty per rotor and Duralast ~35-45 with 2 year warranty..

Durajunk!!!!!!

Mine lasted 3 weeks on the bigger Teg brake setup.....they didn't wanna give me my money back, until I showed a reciept from local Honda dealership that tried to turn them on car, then turned my OEM units to perfection.

Hell yeah! That's how I stay young. I go out and bye cheap ass rotors for my car, and go back in time with the warpzone my brakes make.:bong:
Buy good rotors, I don't know why people cheap out on there car.

for my dd accord, i got some autozone rotors and some morse brake pads, its been almost two years and they still have meat on them. no squeaks at all. im going to be doing the acura cl rotor conversion and i got the brembo blanks, but i do plan on getting some morse pads again. they work great.

yeah, they generally dont give money back for installed parts..

[builthatch]

not a response to the OP, but...

Brembo slotted and Brembo sport pads.

best brake combo i've had yet on this car in 9 years.

I must say that the Brembo ones are the best.. Not expensive either. I paid cost for my cross drilled and slotted rotors.. $60 for the front pair. Pep Boys Lifetime pads. Lasted more than 3 years... I will do it again

[SpoolinSol]

i have Advance Auto rotors and Hawk HP+ pads on my car... been working fine so far...

oh yea; HP+ pads on civic rotors > project mu race pads on my dad's s2k....

Thus was for the better rotors, it was during the time AZ was switching from Brembo to China suppliers.

BTW, Stock 4 door LX brakes surprised me last night, perfectly modulatilbe (sp) in threshold breaking.

The Dish TV guy shit a brick, I had to pitch the car 60 degrees left to avoid, but no contact.

impressive :TU:

I have found that it is either hit or miss with those rotors. Either you're bringing them back next week, or you're keeping them until atleast your warranty is up...
