On one side I've got a new Raybestos rotor from PepBoys that costed a lot more than normal. However, it's holding up very nicely. Unlike the other front rotor that I did about a year before that has an AutoZone Duralast part. I think it's eating away the metal away too fast and is starting to wrap?...sigh So anyway, what do you think about Raybestos rotors? I'm thinking of spending the extra money to get another Raybestos rotors to replace the AutoZone DuraCrap rotor side.

BTW, you should always replace at least both brakes on the same axle at the same time, but since it sounds like your one Raybestos rotor is new, it's not too late to correct the imbalance.

I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
