I buy the Summit Brand rotors. I feel they are just as good as the Powerstops, without the price tag. I did have the Powerstops before.
I really like those pads. They last a long time and are pretty quiet. They do make a lot of dust when new. I'd have them on my car now, if they made them for the Camaro Calipers

It was the only option for my alero summit had but I took the P/N and went to amazon and ordered them for a bit cheaper with 2 day shipping

When you get the old ones off, can you put them on a scale and compare weights of the new components versus stock? |

I have that very set on my alero now, and after 6 months, I am going to replace them. They make a TON of noise when coming to a stop and now they are warped. Wish I had just stayed with OEM, same price and no noise!

You didn't really look that hard. Summit has about 5 different types of rotors and more than that with brake pads

Summit will either match the price or beat it by $1 if you call them.
