Default Rotors

Soo I decided to paint my calipers and I noticed my left front rotor is warped ( which probably explains the squeaking ) I'm thinking about purchasing new front pair and I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions or info on whats the best.. I was also wondering how hard it would be to change the rotor myself? How long would it take to install in a shop?

Brembo blanks from tirerack.com are cheap and are great replacements. However to get them resurfaced will cost about 20bucks only for both fronts at any midas etc...

To change them is simple just take the wheel off,unbolt the caliper (2 bolts holding it on) move it out the way, then you must cut the 2 or so holding tabs that are on the wheel studs holding the rotor on. Once those are cut its free and will come off. You might have to bang them gently with a hammer like i did. Thats it to get them off very simple.

www.tirerack.com if you must replace them.

Dittos... I also like powerslot and Baer rotors depending on the budget. Baer Eradispeed 1 piece are super duper hard to warp... I've tried. They are a little expensive but they last for days.

well when you're finished mocking the advice you might want to pay attention. FYI... I've warped stock, brembo, powerstop and powerslot in 1 35 mile flogging. Baer are the only rotor I have never warped and I have yet to wear a set out. are you all better now.
