Default Whats a good/cheap pair of brake rotors to get?

My brakes dont seem to have the stoping power they should have its at 70k miles so im considering changing my brake rotors. I also recently changed my brake pads and didnt help so if anyone has any better ideas please help me out.

OEM stuff is always the best when it comes to street driving. I don't understand why you don't have the stopping power you used to.

When you changed your brake pads did you resurface the rotors?

Well im not sure we replaced the brake fluid and never drained the master cylinder once cause we 4got about it and it wouldnt get pressure.

After a few weeks the preasure came back tho, im not sure why it sucks at stopping it feels like the car shakes when its trying to stop.

if the car shakes while you try to stop, then your rotors are warped. A good buy would be Brembo blank OEM rotors... I think ~$25/disc. However you'd probably want to do it soon since your brake pads will warp to match your rotors.

A lot of track users would tell you that the best bang for your buck would be cheap-o rotors from AutoZone that you can go through for little $$$ and spend the remainder on GOOD pads with GOOD brake fluid.

Axxis Metal Masters and ATE Super Blue are one combination that should prove worthwhile!
