Cheaper?
I'd get the aftermarket Brembo oem spec rotors they are cheap and good quality. Or are you reffering to the ATE premium type (btw: also cheap price good quality and they stay silver) and the more higher priced DBAs great rotors never tried them

The benefit is cheaper price

OEM = $109 + tax

Aftermarket is ~$32... (no tax...try rock auto )

I just changed the rears with the raybestos - As far as I can tell, just as good as the OEM.

But some prefer OEM - which is fine. The dealers have to make profits. (just not off me!)

I bought Powerslots from the Tirerack.

No issues and they still look new because of the zinc coating.
