Cheapest place for brake rotors?
Where's the best place to buy front brake rotors? I'll need a set at the end of the season, '89 Turbo, so I have the Turbo S brakes.
I'm not looking for drilled rotors, just regular blanks or maybe slotted rotors...
TIA!

What pads are you using? Reason I ask is that I'm using Hawk HT-10's that are supposed to be hard on rotors, but I'm on my second set of pads with hardly any rotor wear. Stops like a Mother F@*% with no fade.

I got mine from rockauto.com. They were Beck/Arnley parts on closeout for 77/78 each. One was from China and the other was a Zimmerman made in Germany. Go figure.
That's the cheapest I found. Search for a rockauto coupon, too--it saves 5%.

For heavy track use I strongly recommend the factory/dealer rotors over the aftermarket ones. The metallurgy is different and I get substantially more life out of a set of factory rotors before they crack than the aftermarket Zimmerman's (even though Zimmerman makes the dealer rotors), plus less risk of a rotor destroying itself at the track. I usually get mine from Sunset or Suncoast.
