OEM, Raybestos, AC Delco, Hawk, Centric ( last two are lesser known to me.)

Centric and AC Delco are cheapest. Hawk and OEM are most. Not much spread though...$52 at low, about $85 on high end.

Opinions?

Will be using EBC Green stuff pads. Previous rotors were Brake performance slotted/dimpled. Replacing due to slight but growing shudder (warpage - covered under "lifetime" warranty). WIll keep replacements in reserve.

I've had great success with drilled/slotted rotors and ceramic pads from Brakemotive.
Had them on the Expy, and have them on the Excursion and my brother's Spotrac.

Rotors may be made in China, but you'll be hard pressed to find some that aren't. Even the AC Delco.

If you do centric, get the premium rotors. They won't rust all over. Another good rotor not listed is bosch quiet cat (at oreilly auto). Have a set on my accord. Great breaking, nice anti corrosion, thick rotor material.
