Brake Rotors
I've heard a set of OE rotors is like $25 at the car store? Is this true?
Otherwise i'm looking at Brembo'* website and they have P/N 09.7376.10 it says they fit "98->"
Aren't 93 rotors the same as the 98 rotors? Anyone have any idea on a cost for these or a source? They're flat rotors, not drilled or slotted (after some research i'm not after them for the look).

Interesting responses. Just a "for what it'* worth:" In the past I have had some bad results using the cheapest rotors. And I believe it mostly had to do with an inferior quality of iron used in the cheaper part. The "brake pulsing" (caused by warped rotors) came back within a few weeks of installing the new ones, and had to have them machined. Again the problem went away for a while longer, but came back again.
I have never had that problem when using the "premium" parts.
By the way, I just checked last week at our local NAPA store, and they offer both grades, the cheaper one, and the better one. I know which one I'll use next time.
Good Luck !!

Why brembo? Because it'* a proven name, and it'll last longer then the damn engine will
If i'm gonna spend $100, i'll make it last.
