brembo blanks are good...

or just get OEM..
I was on brembo blanks for a while but then they warped, then i switched back to OEM's.
120k miles now and still going with them only being turned ONCE so far.

I would spend the money on getting better brakes pads..

still or change the pads too.

Why not just stick with OEM brake pads and OEM rotors? They work really well on mine.

48,100+ miles and the pads aren't thin yet, they still meaty.

oem rotors are crazy expensive. vs the $76 for a brembo blank.
