<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(dza)</div><div class='quotemain'>I need new brakes and I'm not wanting to spend 124 per to get them from the dealer. Is there any reason why I shouldn't get 34 dollar rotors from advanceautoparts.com? They also had a couple in the 60-70 range. Am I going to have them crack driving down the road or will they just not last as long or something?</div>
people are going to dissagree with me and say some mess about cheap rotors warping and mitsubishi's warp rotors and yada yada. cause i seem to hear that mees all the time on here.
but
cheap rotors can last just as long as expensive one's with proper care.
get some decent pads though. cheap pads just don't bite.
and make absolutley sure you flush your old brake fluid out for fresh high boiling point DOT4 brake fluid.
then just make sure you grease you guide pins, replace the seal on the slide pin if its torn,
and be sure to torque your lug nuts properly.
myself i use premium rotors and pads because i require the higher friction coefficient and cooling ability you get with them.
but if you aren't a spirited driver, there's no reason to upgrade.
just my 2cents.
and i speak this from pre-performance junkie experience. alot of my family still has me do their brakes with the dirty diryt cheapness. and their cars are fine. the key is to do it right. and that means a full bleed
