Front rotor options

Hey guys I need to change my front rotors and pads and I was wondering how much of a quality difference would it be if a go to a basic rotor like this one http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...rm=front+rotor or simply going with OEM from Sewell http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2007/1880.html ?

You can reuse the old ones unless they are damaged

Second this one. Make sure you spend the extra $20 per rotor and get the Centric Premium Blanks. Will last longer than the standard blanks and you will get you money back.

If you were not experiencing any noises/issues with the braking before, you should be fine with the old hardware. Just apply lube on the points touching the braking components.
