Default Need Help Choosing Rotors!

Hey, CL.

I'm looking on replacing my pads and rotors all the way around. I already bought some nice ceramic pads, I just need help finding the right rotors without paying an arm and a leg for them.

I'm not big on track performance so the absolute stopping power isn't an issue for me. What I am looking for a is a set of rotors that are A) corrosion/rust-resistant, B) resistant to ribbing/galling, C) resistant to warping.

I've been thinking about the ATE PremiumOne. It seems to be what I'm looking for, but I haven't seen any reviews by people that have driven more than a few thousand miles on them.

Anybody got any other suggestions before I jump for the ATEs?

If I do end up getting the ATEs, I'd probably get them from TR.com since they're the lowest priced ones that I can find.

I have not personally used the ATEs, but I have heard good things about their rotors. For what you are looking for you might just want to find a set of brembo blanks.

Something like this:

I am not recommending that vendor (I have never heard of them), the purpose of the link is to show you the rotors I am speaking of!

ate is made in china. You would be most happy with lexus or brembo blank rotors.

I have those on my Diamante. I have about 5-6k on them. Quite happy with them. Almost nil thickness variation and runout.

The coating on them appears to be some kind of paint, so I doubt it will be as durable as plating.
