brake rotors

hades · 01-25-2009, 09:20 AM

i am getting ready to redo my brakes - new rotors, pads, rebuild calipers...

I would like to have oem blank style rotors if possible. However when I search online companies only have the front, or rear, never both. How big of deal is it to mismatch brake rotors-front and rear - not side to side?

Thanks,

Shouldn't be a big deal at all. Have you checked the local parts stores? I want to say NAPA has them for the cheapest price.

yeah, napa had front listed for $60, but no rears. Orielly's had rear's for $40something I think, but no fronts.

This site has centric and brembo front disc blanks, but no rears.
I am temped to buy the slotted PowerStop discs, since they are pretty cheap, but I would like some feed back before hand.

I need to call Ray Crowe and see what he can do. Also need to source the caliper o-rings for a rebuild.

Beck/Arnley has both front and rear rotors. O'Reilly or Advance Auto Parts can order them.

Also.....www.rockauto.com is where I get just about everything I need that I can't get at work.

any real difference between the two. Is one brand suppose to be better?

I think its because not all companies make the right sizes for both the front and rear. I remember I used to deal with a company that sold Brembo blanks, but the rear were actually make by Ikuta. Never had any issues though.

I believe the ones I have are cryo treated.. But I'm not 100%. All I know is its powerslot ones that tirerack and other rotary shops used to sell.
