Brake Dilemma
I needed to change my front pads so I ordered up the EBC Greenstuff pads. So I have those sitting here. Now at a closer look I need front rotors to. I searched the forum and I cannot come up with a good conclusion. Lexus front rotors $300, bump that *****. I will be selling the car in a year so I am not worried about doing some serious brake upgrades although the local shops want $200 for plain **** rotors. What do you recommend? I think I seen a set of drilled and slotted rotors for $200? Where would be some good places to buy replacement rotors at a good price or should I get a better aftermarket rotor if they will cost about the same? Lost here, any help would be highly appreciated. Anyone with good places to buy(they can get things to the Midwest quickly) along with any price estimates would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

Unless you're upgrading, I wouldn't invest a lot of time or research into it.

Thanks for the reply!
I have a buddy doing it for me so I am just talking parts. But I didn't want to spend $200 on local store OEM rotors if someone is selling c/d for $205.. I mean anyway, $100-200-300, whatever, for what ever amount I am spending, I want to make sure i am getting the best deal. $200 for OEM or $200 for C/D, I would rather take the C/D...

Oh, absolutely get the best deal; what I mean is, I wouldn't get c/d if you are going to sell it. c/d is probably considered a "mod", and to a prospective buyer, my lower the value. Furthermore, I wouldn't get c/d only on the front, but that's just me; get em all oem, or get em all c/d.
