Default Front Rotors?????
82k on the original rotors and they are due for replacement; question: any pointers or suggestions as to which to get or should i stick with oem? my thought is to go for the mintex redbox pads whatever.

Love 'em! Reasonably priced as well...

Default just be careful with some brands as they cross drill>>>
some too close to the edge of the rotor and then they are more susceptible to cracking from heat....

Do your homework on brakes, they are not to be fooled around with...IMO

Default tirerack.com has brembo slotted, plated rotors for $219/pair
i've run these for the past few years. great rotor.

you want plated so that the hats don't rust like crazy.
