Did my own brake job with cheap Chinese rotors and Wagner semi-metallic pads. Well, 2000 miles later the brakes are pulsating like crazy and the rotors are warped; they cannot be turned.
Can you guys recommend a decent set of rotors and pads that will last awhile, assuming the rest of the braking system is in good order. When I get the new pads and rotors I am going to this time get a torque wrench for even torquing of the lug nuts to eliminate that. Calipers are a little rusty but are not hanging, already checked that out.
I don't want anything crazy expensive like Brembos. What are considered good rotor and pad combos that aren't Chinese made and of poor quality?
Car is a 2000 Saturn SL1 and I'd like to order them from RockAuto.com because their prices are real hard to beat.
Thanks!
