Best OEM fitting rotors?

What are the best OEM fitting rotors for the price out there? I have an 05 G35X. I saw these- slotted and drilled. What do you guys think? The dealership wanted $400 just to resurface my original rotors w/ 85K miles on them. I only have 1,000 miles on the pads, but need new rotors pretty bad...

I just put new stoptechs out back. Pretty good rotor. Paid $130/shipped for both

For the fromt, I bought OEM rotors. I think I paid about $250 for the pair.


$400 tp resurface only is just rediculous.

I don't think there's such a thing as a "best fitting" rotor. It either fits or it doesn't. Look at R1concepts rotors. Good quality and you can get F&R shipped for less than $250 total.

Why do you need to go to dealership for the rotor resurface? Couldn't an independent garage do the job for less?

O'Reilly's will resurface rotors for like $10 each. If they have 85K on them though you probably need new ones anyway. My rears were resurfaced and fronts replaced at around 40K.

I've had good luck with Centric premium blanks from TireRack. They've got a nice e-coat paint on the hub that keeps the hub from rusting. I have an 03 sedan which has the smaller rotors and more aggressive pads which don't as long as the front brakes that came on the 05/06 cars. My OEM front rotors and pads lasted about 30K miles. Then I did Brembo blanks with OEM pads. Those lasted 30K miles. Then I did Centrics when OEM pads and I've got 35K miles on them and they've still got another 10K miles in them, at least. Just measured them this weekend.
