Where to find a front rotor?

Noobman · July 19th, 2013, 07:48 AM

My front rotor is warped (can feel a vibration in the steering), so were do I buy one ?

I'd prefer not to spend over $150, I'm looking at ebay and seeing a whole lot of Chinese made options (they "seem" good) but I have no idea, cant find any reviews.

I'm also looking at online retail stores and so far cheapest I found was $163, free shipping (within Canada).

Anyone know of any "better" places to buy one or something ?

Hmm, IMHO if there's one place that I don't want to go for the budget option it's brakes. Personally I'd just bite the bullet and buy something that's a known quantity. I just found an EBC rotor for $130ish

I will add that I've never had to replace my rotor so I can't comment on their quality of stopping power, but I know that they have a good reputation.

New rotor = new pads. Remember that.

Why?

Otherwise worn pads will eat the new rotor. Replace both so they break on nice

Try here for oem rotor.
You will have to add some small ammount for shipping.

Within Canada,

Pete's superbike is in QC so you'll have to give 'em a call. They gave me the best price in Canada for my Pirelli tires. I don't know how much rotors will be ... sometimes items don't show up on their website so it's best to call.

Like someone said previously, think twice before you go with rotors from an unknown brand or without reviews on eBay.
