Not true. I've used generic $20 blanks from AutoZone and they were MUCH more prone to glazing and brake vibration than the Brembo blanks I ordered from autopartswarehouse.com The steel used for the rotors makes a big difference in whether the rotor will glaze and cause brake vibration issues.

the problem might not be the rotor, seriously, go to your local nasa/autox forum, there's sh-t load of people running advance/napa/autozone special.

why? you can believe all you want in marketing but when i come down to rotor, they are just replacement item just like pad.

Amazon is great for stuff like this. I got an o2 sensor for my wife's acura there, was cheaper than everywhere else.

i agree with you that rotors are rotors but pads? pads are something you need to look into more considerably.
