Default PBR brake rotors

Hey guys. Bad brake shimmy so its time for new front rotors >[

I went on my parts site and they have a PBR brand that's $55 per side. Anyone use PBR rotors before? I'm on my fourth year of the Midas brand that the P/O used

Thanks!

for standard, unslotted/drilled rotors?

I generally just buy Centric.


you realize you could just have your rotors turned, right?

Just standard ones. I'd like to get them turned but it seemed like a majority from the poll I've done sort if under the radar have said it does not work; although at ~$30 its a favorable option. Even if it gave me a few months of rattle free driving it'd be worth it. I would much rather spend the money on the strut rods!

+1 for centric rotors.

amazon has them for roughly $45 for a set of front or rear.
For slightly more than getting them turned, I like this option.

Amazon, FTW! I will check out the Centric brand when I get home. That would be a great deal if a new set is $45 vs turning the rusty Midas ones!

Prices have gone up since I got mine..

rear $52 a set:
Amazon Amazon

I cant find regular centrics for the fronts there either. They have premium ones though which are running 55 each.

Still a good deal, but turning them would save you some money.

Oh rats. Well turning them shouldn't be too bad. I may do it tomorrow before the football game starts.
