brake rotor quality?
I'm getting ready to do turbo brakes on my 89 n/a. My plan is to get new rotors for the front and use the used rotors that came with my front swap in the rear. I was looking at rotors at work and wondering about brand quality.
Centric and OPparts - cheapest
Bendix Global Meyle - slightly more
ATE - about double but still not terrible
Wagner - most expensive but still in the $100 range

I used the zimmermans on my 924s ($50 each i think) and they've worked great. That said the price was for the early style. Looks like the late style discs run $73 each. Make sure you get the right ones there is a difference, you have to run the 87+ 944 rotor for NA brakes. Did you convert to the 4 piston turbo/s2 brakes?

Paragon-products.com. That said the $50 i quoted was for early NA brakes not 951's. Sorry for any confusion on that.

I use even cheaper $30 front rotors on my 84 944 spec car. They work just fine. So for a 944 spec car under hard racing conditions even the cheapest chinese made rotor work just fine.
