front rotors

Ive been dealing with vibration from my rotors for a while,so i priced OEM rotors and there right at 200 @ piece. Well i went by Speed South yesterday and he priced some Power Slots for my truck at nearly 200 @ piece. It looks like Ill be getting the PS's. I was just wondering if anyone else knew of another rotor that would be as good or better at a cheaper price?

YES...RUN AWAY FROM POWER SLOTS/POWER STOPS!!!!

I have more stories about those rotors than I can count...I have friends in the business who dropped them because of problems. I refuse to sell them.

Most places don't care about things as long as they sell....few people do like I do and refuse to sell crap. It's really easy to ignore problems on rotors when you can just say "performance part-no warranty".

Re: front rotors

I refuse to shop at SpeedSouth. When I called looking for a Bassani catback and they tried to sell me a Magnaflow catback because it "made more power" when in reality they simply don't carry Bassani but do carry Magnaflow, I gave up on them.
