I just don't get why the price of rotors vary so much. So I'm going to do a brake job this weekend and I'm going with OEM pads, and my jaw nearly dropped when Honda told me the rotors cost $90/rotor! So I hit up the Checker down the street and got the cheapest rotors I could get. I might be missing something but aren't all OEM style rotors the same? I mean its pretty much a chunck of metal thats made in China.:usa: I can't see one OE style rotor being far superior to another, or maybe I'm wrong?:shrug:

 

answer: it's the dealership


:hsdunno:

 

brand name h:

get brembo blanks jeff

 

I believe honda's OEM's are brembo blanks ... i think.



and his name is Joff, not Jeff.

 

it's geoff

the kooky spelling :loco:

 

I kind of need to do the job soon so I just got the cheapo rotors at checker. the thing that got me is that checker has high end OE style rotors too. I figure I've got 175K on my car now, cheap rotors will do the job for the next 20-30K until I decide to get something better.

Joff, if we want to be all snobby the correct way to spell it is Goff h:

 

I think it's primarily material uniformity in the rotor. OEM and name brand rotors probably have better quality control on that end.
