I do oem for nearly everything. Rotors are not one of them. PowerStop Evolution rotors are OE weight and quality with a zinc coating for corrosion at a decent price. I think I'm on my 4th set over a decade and two cars.
Short answer, oem rotors are not worth it. Brake pads and rotors are one of the areas the aftermarket is great at. I have been happy with Power Stop geomet fully coated rotors. They cost basically the same or a dollar or two more vs the semi coated on rockauto.
Not including labor, I spent like $400 for PowerStop Drilled and Slotted Rotors + Brake Pads for all 4 wheels.
Good but get the coated rotors if you live somewhere with winters. They last me much longer than the uncoated ones.
I got some with regular rotors worked amazing this past year. Would buy again tbh.
These are good. Get the rotors without the holes if you can.
I buy brembos for all my vehicles but those are on the pricier side but centric or power stop makes pretty good stuff
Check out PowerStop. Brake parts have become ridiculously expensive so I was initially hesitant because PowerStop stuff is reasonable. Read lots of reviews and finally got front and rear rotors and pads on my 09 r/T. They feel exactly the same as stock but look a lot better and also are much lighter. (aslo cheaper than stock by a mile)
So my options are just replace rear pads w/ oem pads or replace rear rotors w/ ate slotted ones and ate pads. Basically what I just installed on the pepperwagen. Thoughts??
Back in November 2019 / ~7,500 miles ago, I installed the Power Stop Z23 Evolution Geomet Coated Rotor and Pad Kit. Well, now the rotors are warped and I need replacement rotors.
