| How are Raybestos Rotors and Pads?
How do they perform in comparison to OEM? Im talking about the "Professional Grade" ones not the "Advance Technology" ones. Anyone using them for their cars?

Pads are gay.
Rotors are okay.
Go OEM for the best.

pad's are okay, but rotors are crap.
I used to use them on my dad's ford explorer and we kept getting warped rotors because its a heavy car. The braking performance was shitty, and i always thought it was just because ford's usually have crappy brakes and its a truck. When it was due for brakes again i decided not to cheap out (althought the raybestos QS pads i got last time were the most expensive brakes) i got PBR rotors (good quality ones, not the chinese made ones) and akebono ceramic pads. So far no warpage and it actually stops great now. personally, if its available i suggest to spend the extra money on akebono pads and quality rotors. I run akebono on all my cars, and they last long, show very minimal dust, and the performance is great.

Cheap rotors are poorly cast (more porous/ less dense) and many times don't run true, right out of the box. If you look at a cheap, vented rotor and compare it to an OEM one, you'll notice that the vented section is wider, even though the overall thickness is the same, meaning less mass.

OEM spec and high quality aftermarket are made with better quality steel and more mass - they'll absorb and dissipate heat better and more evenly, preventing warpage.
Compare a dollar store frying pan to one that's the same size but made of cast iron. The cheap one will distort easily and the heavier cast iron will remain the same and distribute heat better - same principle.

I think what death_blossom was inferring is that most people (on this forum alone probably) will never use their rotors to the full capability they are designed for, hence his suggestion that rotors are rotors.

If you want them to last longer (be still good for a next set of pads), be easily machinable, and to cause less vibration then don't cheap out and get cheap rotors. Depending on how you drive and where you live, you'd be surprised how hard we are on brakes. Considering I live on the hills and admit to drive aggresively. I've had my share of brakes that work vs brakes that dont work. I have to agree witl fliptuner and his example is a very good one.
