Hey guys - I think i will need at least 1 new rotor(drivers front), have an appointment this Thursday @ dealership. Qusetion is, if thats the problem (plenty of pad left, ball joint are rock solid, no bent wheel and it make a 'thud'n as the wheel rotates, but goes away if a brake medium to hard, it always there, but as i brake harder then noise goes away).


So, anyways, here is what I am looking at for replacement
Rotora - http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=506
Brembo - http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brake...ar=&perfCode=P
Or, would you just choose OEM's?


So, if you have real world experience, let me which you would choose and why. I am really only looking for a OEM replacement, not really looking for drilled/slotted.

Thanks in advance.

I bought the slotted Rotoras from l-tunedparts.com and they have been good as an OEM replacement. Plus the hats are coated so they won't rust and look like crap.

Thanks, i have the Akebono pads like you, so that a good to know that this setup works well.

I have slotted Brembos on mine with Akebono pads and I like them so far. If you are not looking for slotted/drilled ones, then I would say go with whatever is cheaper. OEM might cost you more than Brembo blanks, I would go with Brembo in this case.

so, i got the car into the dealer, and they checked everything, and still nothing.

wait, hold the phones......i got there to pick it up, and we talked, then I was like, OK, time to order new rotors, lines, so forth.

Then, I asked, did you re-torque the wheel - Master Tech, uhm, nope. Might as well try that before I make the order - when for a drive.....and BOOOOOM. that was it, no more sounds, just pure perfection.

Thanks for all the help.
