Default Which rotors?

Need some fresh rotors... Just changed the pads 30k ago but my rotors are warped....

These both say they fit my car, but the dimensions seem away off. Can anyone tell me which one would fit?

Amazon.com: Centric Parts 120.44090 Premium Brake Rotor with E-Coating: Automotive Amazon.com: Centric Parts 120.44090 Premium Brake Rotor with E-Coating: Automotive
$80 shipped
ERR
Centric Parts 120.44083 Premium Brake Rotor with E-Coating : Amazon.com : Automotive Centric Parts 120.44083 Premium Brake Rotor with E-Coating : Amazon.com : Automotive

$100 shipped on Amazon

or

R1 (never heard of them until I did some searching)

http://www.r1concepts.com/Lexus-GS40...nt-rotors.aspx

$87 + shipping.


What ya'all think. Really cant go wrong with Centric since this is just a DD and not many hard miles.
Pads is another decision after I figure this out.

Want to be sure that Amazon Centric is the right rotors for me.

You should be fine with either Centric or R1; I've used the Centric/Stoptech's Slotted/Cross-drilled on my previous S14 without any issues and am using the R1 Premium Slotted/Cross-drilled on my current GS430 without any issues now.

I just ordered from amazon a couple months ago. I ordered the centric rotors and the akebono pro act brake pads. You're gonna need (2) 120.44083 for the fronts (2) 120.44090 for the rears. The fronts and rear rotors are different sizes hence why theres 2 different ones to order. Total I paid was under $300 for rotors and brake pads all around. Gotta love amazons free shipping on orders above $25 and especially since I live in Hawaii. If i were to order the same products on Rockauto I wouldve had to pay an extra $150 to ship to Hawaii. But yeah as far as this set up goes, its pretty good. Im confident in stopping power and im the same, my GS is just a stock daily driver. But hope this helps you out!

I think I;m going with R1's cross and drilled instead. Only a bit more money and I feel like that product is much higher grade.
