I just did a check on replacement rotors for a 94 TA. Here are the results.

GM parts direct.

Rears $121.09 each
Manufacturer unknown

Tire rack

Rears $93 each
Brembo

O'Reilly

Wagner

Autozone
Fronts $29.99 each
Rears $15.99 each
Duralast

Rears $13.99 each
Valucraft

Does anyone have any experience with any of these rotors? Is there really a difference between these rotors other than the prices? Is it possible that they all are Brembo blank rotors but repackaged or ???

 

The only real difference will be with the cheaper rotors. They are usually made of cheaper metals and are less resistant to warping. If you drive the car like your average passenger car. The cheap ones will be fine. If you are an aggressive driver and beleive that brakes are a last resort only to be used whan shear power can't get you out of trouble, go with the better ones.

I run Power Slot rotors and abuse my brakes with in an inch of their lives. No Problems

 

I put the Autozone's on mine about 6 mos. ago. & they stop perfectly. I drive fairly aggressive, too. Lots of short stops.

 

The Duralast brand from AZ is supposed to be premium quality goods.

 

The duralast stuff is pretty good.

 

never by the valuecrap
the durlast stuff is good

 

I've been told the difference is from the metal used. American metal vs. foreign. Most of the part stores will tell you what they carry and what kind of warranty they have.

NAPA told me they gave a lifetime warranty for warping, I paid ~$60 each for mine.

 

how does napa honor that warranty?
how do they check for warping, or do they,

 

I didn't get that in depth with the warranty, I imagine I would trade the warped rotors in like anything else. Supposed to be lifetime but I did take his word. How do I know they are made woth American metal? I don't I guess.

 

I just can't seem to find the rotor sizes for my camaro... Does any one out there have sizes? OEM is just fine...
