I think I know where you^^are going and I agree.

OP all of the brands you listed are good but can be pricey. A number of us have gone with R1 Concept rotors. They are extremely reasonable price wise and are good quality, you might want to check them out.

I went with centric premium rotors, been working great so far. only had them on almost 2 years. great stopping improvement/power with project mu b force pads. no warping yet. i stop better with that setup than on my oems, but that may just be me. good luck.

Centric premium here as well. No problems at all. Seems to stop better than my old OEM ones.

My suggestion is EBC. I've used them on all my cars and they've got wicked products.

I went with the Stop-Tech Cryo-stop rotors. I bought them from a vendor here. The rear rotors were $138/shipped for the pair. They look nice, with painted rotor hats and vanes. They came in Centric boxes as well

Up front, i'm still using OEM rotors, but i'll give these a shot on the rear and see how they are over time and when i need fronts again, i'll go with these.

They were much cheaper than the cheapest OEM rotors i could find...which were around $150 + $30 S/H

Edit: here's the thread
