I have sworn by NAPA Premium Rotors (there is a difference between another one they sell, these have a black and rust coating on em) Lifetime warrenty. They are good about it too.
I then add NAPAs Ceramix pads. I love em. Long life, good performance.
I wish these were in a brake shoot out hint hint
This combo is on every vehicle in our house (thats like almost 7)
It rocks
napa premium rotors come from china too. i won't use 'em. i've seen china rotors that had absolutely atrocious casting quality. the machining looked good, but put the rotor on the hub and spin it and watch the outboard brake plate thickness go from thick to thin while the inboard goes from thin to thick.
i buy brembo rotors and hawk HPS pads from the tire rack. could probably get them locally and save on shipping, but TR really makes it easy.
i also flush my fluid every 24 months regardless of mileage.
BTW when you're changing the rotors, run on the old pads until you NEED to change them. It's better to break in new rotors with old pads than to try and break them in with new pads which also need breaking in.

I think the pads on the car will hold for at least another year, so i may just leave them on until the car goes away in storage in fall. I'll have to take another look at them. Thanks for the reminder!
