Well, like always because of extremely heavy braking I got my rotors warped. So now I need to buy two new rotors. I've done this to to cars now and the prices for rotors were pretty cheap. But whats up with celicas? I went to AutoZone, PepBoyz, Advanced Auto Parts and NAPA and the prices are crazy. They want me to pay 89$ per rotors. The cheapest I found was 69.99$ per one rotors. That is crazy cuz these rotors are not some crazy heavy duty/sport. They are normal rotors.
So as of now I am looking for cheap rotors and here's what I found online http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductDetail....ype=221&ptset=A
It says that its 19.99$ and that is a good enough price for me. But my question is, is that for two rotors or for one, Cuz I dont want to order 2 packs and get 4 rotors.
Thank you

PS. If u knwo a cheaper place to buy normal OEM rotors please tell, cuz I need to do this soon.

wow I payed way more then that for mine they where about 70 for the fronts and 30 for the rears (4 wheel disk breaks), Good breaks is the one thing I really have no problem paying money for, but on a side note, the cheaper the rotor the cheaper the material used to make it, I do some heavy breaking some times (my brembo's are the best i have ever used for stopping distance and quality, I did a hard test when I put em on, 60-0 3 times one after the other, with no problem and got great even results each time) with cheap rotors your gana go though em like there nothing, and break pads should never outlast the rotor you have other problems if they do.

you pay for quality may cost more now, but in the long run your saving money, and good breaks could save your life, and your car

I strongly recomend paying more then $30 each rotor.
