Rotors OEM or another brand?

Rotors OEM or another brand?
My 2016 has 60K on the clock and when I brake I'm feeling vibration.
Changed my brakes at 50K miles and rotors were ok. So now I need to decide to resurface rotors or buy new ones.
For those who replaced rotors - did you go with OEM or another brand? If other brand - who did you go with?
Thanks

even if they say its fine and no need to resurface u still using the same rotor so i would just replace the rotor. normally after i used the rotor two times i just change out the rotor on my 3rd brake job.

Front rotors
Hello Lexy Rexy drivers.
Long story short after 11k miles my front rotors are out of round which results in shimmy when break. It is very pronounced on highway speeds, and even in slow traffic, i could clearly feel it. The dealer tells me that the only roads they can road test is those around the dealership and posted speed limit is 35. They do not want me in the car during the test due to everyone knows what, although the same dealer had no problem have a test drive with me when I purchased the car last august. Anyways, i want to replace rotors, but i don't want originals, i want better. What are the good brands out there? With my German fleet, i always used originals or 2 exceptional brands which are Brembo and Zimmerman's. What are good brands for rx?
Thank you.

One thing I have found with my Camry: the lug nuts absolutely must be torqued evenly to spec (sorry I don’t remember the torque value) or there will be shimmy upon high-speed braking. I too was convinced my rotors were warped because sometimes the shimmy was quite noticeable but after rotating the tires myself and torquing the lug nuts properly, all was well.

There is a relatively new pad and rotor, Raybestos Element 3. Excellent value for excellent brake components.
The coated rotors are about $42 on RockAuto. The pads are $33 and are a new, hybrid compound. Shipping is kinda high...
What pad did oyu use? The factory pad is excellent, if you wanna spend a little more.
Good luck.

If you ask me i did not change anything yet, all the rotors and brake pads are the original. Car just hit 11.5k on the clock. Dealer fails to acknowledge the fact that it shaking when I break because speed limit is 35 around dealerships and they cannot go above speed limit during test drive. Frankly I don’t wanna fight with them anymore I would much rather change the rotors and pads

Tires were rotated and possibly not torqued down evenly. If you have access to a click-type torque wrench (the cheaper beam type with a pointer needle isn’t accurate enough), this is easy for you to fix. Merely jack the car up, loosen the lug nuts, then re-torque them. Go up in value progressively, over two or three steps, until you reach the right value which is 76 ft-lbs according to the manual. Be sure to torque them in a “star” or criss-cross pattern, don’t just go around from one lug nut to the next.

I will get a torque wrench and report.
