Marked down from 87.99$. I cannot confirm or deny if my rig ever had OEM brake components in the front ever since I've owned it.
Before anyone asks, I'm not really interested in the Tundra swap right now. I don't tow, haul, brake hard or drive on any steep incline or decline. I just want my new pads and rotors on. With that being said, 60$ for OEM rotors or 45$ for chinese after market ones. I've probably answered my own question, anyone in our group still using OEM front brake components? My understanding is the pads are terrific and have great bite. I'd assume they will only feel better with OEM rotors?
I've also heard good things about the Brenmbo UV coated rotors, but have no experience with the brand.
Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance.

Nothing wrong with OEM. $60 for OEM rotors are a good deal IMO. I just looked up replacements from Autozone and Advance Auto and they're over $70, and I'm sure they're manufactured in China.
I'd replace the caliper pins while you're at it, shouldn't be more than $15 locally.
