Brake rotor options
I tow rarely, and the OEM stuff did fine for me. I'd like to upgrade to PowerSlots, but I've got a Subaru needing a clutch, CV axles, & rear wheel bearing; a Passat with busted headlights ($500!!!), rent & utilities to pay...
So yes, i'm trying to get fixed without dropping $800 just in parts...
So, are Raybestos, AC Delco, or other manufacturers decent/comparable to the OEM rotors?

AC Delco=GM parts right??? Couldn't think of having GM stuff on my truck... 
Shoot, for $10 more, I'd go with the Powerslots. Lots of guys here swear by them. Didn't realize that the price was that close.

I got the powerslots on the front of my truck and I like them. Havent had them on very long so cant give a good opinion. I replaced them cause the OEMs were warped at 77k. The pads that came off were still good shape.

My OEM rotors lasted 150K miles, and the 1st aftermarkets,(carquest) lasted 50K, the second aftermarkets(NAPA) lasted ~50K. I am about to start looking for new rotors again(just had my last turn done on current rotors) but since the truck just sits during the week now and does not get but about 1-200 miles a week it will be awhile.

I put Hawk pads on mine, but it is the same difference. A local race car shop is a dealer from Hawk and they could get me the set for around 120. They were over ten dollars cheaper than any set on the internet.
In the end, I did a performance brake job for the same or less than OEM or NAPA.
