My mom needs some rotors for her S13 convertible. She does not do any performance driving. I was wondering what the difference, besides price, between Beck/Arnley regular and premium rotors. Also how do these compare to Brembo rotors?

I know Brembo makes quality rotors and www.nopionline.com has them for $32 front and $30 rear...

I just recently replaced my Z32 rears with store brand premium rotors, Duralast I believe.They come with a 2 year warranty and the convenience of driving down 5 blocks for replacements.Keep in mind that Brembo forges out rotors for various companys to be sold as store labels.

If those Brembo blanks are that cheap, they might be worth it picking those up. If not, whatever is cheap will be fine.

the price of duralast rotors scared the **** out of me when i was in the hunt for a set of evo rotors.

they were $60 a piece...and they had to be special ordered. that's damn near half of what the next cheapest price i could find was.

i passed on them because the price was just too good to be true.
