Default Front Rotor Replacement Help. What Brand is close to OEM?

I think my front rotors are near discard so they may not be able to be turned. In case they can't be turned I'd like to know what brand rotors to get. I'll be using Axxis Deluxe Plus pads. (I have Brembo rotors and Axxis Deluxe Plus pads in the rear). I'm just looking for EOM like braking without the dust and no squeal. I can get the RAYBESTOS rotors for $45 each and Zimmerman for $58 each. Or should I look at another brand?

Thanks,
Chad

Default Re: Front Rotor Replacement Help. What Brand is close to OEM?

I got Zimmermans very cheap at Arizona Autohaus. They seem to have about the best prices. I have green line or green stuff pads on the front and they are low dust. Next, I need to do the rears. I got 2 rear OEM rotors and pads for about 90.00 also from AZ Autohaus. Now I need to find the time to do the job...

Default I'd use Zimmerman

I put slotted Zimmerman's on my 99 about 3 months ago. HUGE improvement once the pads bedded in. Thanks Audiworld!

Default just make sure you get the right size

there is a small but significant difference between brembo and zimmerman front rotors. If you need the latter, the former won't fit. I presume that if you need the former, the latter will fit but be suboptimal.
