2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Best Place To Buy Rotors?

[trqmnstr]

My rotors are on their last turn and need to be replaced. Where is a good place to buy them locally? NAPA? What is the approx. cost of one? Thanks

my advice... . go to a speed shop in Jacksonville called Wells Performance. Tell them you want a set of CENTRIC Premium rotors from their warehouse in Miami ( NPW ). CENTRIC is OEM quality and is E-coated / powdercoated for corrosion resistance. Part number for your truck is 120. 67046 and they should run you less than $90 each. I suggest you get the posi quiet pads #106. 08210 for about $50.



If they ask you how you found out about these..... tell them the NPW rep sent ya!

I bought a set of wearever rotors w/ bearing races pressed in at Advanced. I think they were $30-$35 a piece. The box they came in had part #'s for NAPA and Carquest listed on it.

Those $35 rotors are the Tawain or Chineese rotors... Centric has them too under the C-tek name for about the same $ but if you want a better rotor the Premium Centrics are it. Difference will be felt when you go to turn those $35 rotors and they are junk and cant be turned.

Brembo rotors at Tire Rack

The Tire Rack has BREMBOs for about $62 each. Put them on my '01 3500. They are Italian made, very high quality rotors.

I won't buy another rotor unless it's gas slotted. Anyone have a good source for quality rotors???

Fishin Guide,



You are thinking exactly what we do here concerning rotors the gas slotted ones are generally better materials and last longer without any warpage. We ONLY promote the Powerslot rotors and Hawk pads, best value and warpage is not a problem at all. They usually cost an average of 90-100. 00 per rotor and a set of the pads are around 60-70. 00 per axle. I have them on my truck and that's why we stock them, the difference in braking performance was night and day as compared to stock, much less the life span difference of the rotor. They even have cyro frozen rotors if you are extremely hard on brakes!!!

Did you get a quote from your local dealer. I know they are high but consider the amount of mile you put on your OE stuff.



... oh yeah! I would never put anything as important as brake pads and rotors on my truck from Advance, Pep boys, Autozone etc. Seek Quality! JMO

They make some fine rotors... spendy though.
