i needed new front rotors and pads for mine and considered the better brands but really, stocks more than enough for me and went back with it.

stock works great, remember they have traversed more continents then you will ever see. We don't take them to just any off road course. We take them where our customers will be.

If you want the best stopping but don't want to pay for the whole thing, buy the OEM pads and sensors and then buy the cheap rotors. Trust me, the car will stop the same and when it comes time to replace them just chuck them and get it over with.
