Looks like I'm going to have to replace the front rotors on my '84 TransAm due to warpage (they're the original factory rotors). In shopping around for replacments I see a wide range of prices- $160 for AC/Delco to $65 for Bendix, slightly less for Raybestos.....

I'm looking for suggestions as to which brand to go for. Opinions?

Thanks!

i wouldn't have a problem using any of the ones you said. because of cost i'd look at something other than gm i tihnk.

Yes, because of cost I was leaning towards Bendix, but I thought I'd ask around first. I couldn't see paying AC/Delco prices, and I've always thought Bendix was pretty good, but I wanted to hear what the members had to say about that.

Any other comments, anyone?

 

My last set of rotors were a cheap set from a parts store. (can't remember the brand, it's one I hadn't heard of) and until I killed them road racing they were fine. No warping at all. Even after racing they weren't even the slightest bit warped, they were just torn up by the heat and the high clamping pressure I had to use. (enough pressure to bend the pads quite a bit)
