OEM or aftermarket?
I need front rotors, the inside is badly grooved and rusty. Should I put on aftermarket or OEM rotors and pads. Where do I get the best value.

Same question for sway bar bushings, aftermarket or OEM? Where?

the dealer will probably be more expensive than the auto parts store with similar quality.... but you can also upgrade to nicer stuff aftermarket for a price

Do a search in here. Brakes are a common upgrade and there are many threads on them. I believe the most commonly recommended are the Powerslot Cryoed rotors and Hawk pads.

Thats what I did and love them. They stop better than they ever did and I'm now running 41" tires!

X 2 for the PowerSlots Cryo and Hawks pads. Never stopped better and built to last.
