Brake rotors?

Truck sat for 6 weeks and when I drove it I could feel it shaking when I braked. Inspected the rotors and am seeing alternating shiny metal and rust areas. I thinkl this means new rotor time. Where are the best prices for rotors?

it doesnt necessarily mean you need new rotors the pads are just re-clearing themselves for lack of a better word. It happens quite often after sitting. Give them some time to back in they should be fine. The only thing you would maybe need new rotors for is if you warped them before it was parked. Otherwise you should be good and i would just try new pads before rotors. But i no you can get rotors from just about any parts store unless you want to upgrade. Then you can look for rotors from EBC or Brembo etc.. but you will pay much more than just getting a stock replacement from say autozone. I believe i paid like 141 for a new rotor from Autozone a couple weeks ago.

Or he could go with power slot or power stop rotors.
