Looking for the best place / brand to get some replacement rotors for the front

how many miles on your car? I would suggest Adams rotors but if your looking at direct replacements (Beck/Arnley) the Adams may be out of the price range you desire.

Sux. I've had the raybestos on a few other cars and had good results. Rock auto carries them.

Thanks Ive used them before for some mats, so I should have my cl id linked up.

Just one last questions, for the $ are oem replacements the best bang for the buck ? I don't want to get another set and have to deal with it again

Honestly they are, they come painted they dont rust, it almost $200 for 2 front rotors where after market blanks are like $150.
