Which rotors....

I've got my brackets to set up the SS rotors, just ordered the pads (went Bendix this time). Next week, I'll be ordering the rotors. Have 3 I'm looking at, cost is less then $2 each between the 3, but 2 have a shipping charge. Probably not going to be much differance, but which would you buy, and why....

Napa Premium Brake Rotor #48880184, 2 for $59.98 + $23.00 S&H = $82.98
BENDIX PRT5528 Front Brake Rotor, 2 for $58.64 + $9.90 S&H =$68.54
RAYBESTOS 580184 Front Brake Rotor, 2 for $56.06 No, S&H.

In general, I'm not a Bendix fan, but haven't used them in several years and going to give the ceramic pads a shot again. Looking at the rotors, seems the Raybestos is the better deal.

Thoughs? Or if you have some better prices, let me know. But I've got $5 in EBay bucks to use starting next week.....

Napa charges shipping to ship their brand rotor to their store? That's a little crazy...I'd eliminate that choice just for shear prinicpal of the shipping charges.

About $61 shipped. I got the CARDONE ones. If I go with the Raybestos rotors, I'll have under $150 in everything. That's cheaper then picking up just rotors/pads at NAPA from what I remember it costing me last time.

NAPA wants $81.99 each if I buy from the store..... I'm getting all these off EBay.

NAPA doesn't make rotors.

Notice the correlation between the NAPA and Raybestos part numbers?

Probably all 3 made at the same plant..... I've already planned to get the Raybestos unless someone can point me in a different direction....

I wouldn't be surprised if that same plant is in China, too.
