ATE are OEM rotors? I Looked at Pelican and the ATE rotors are the cheapest rotors you can buy from them.

And your point is?
I've used ATE on my Audi S8, Boxster S, numerous BMWs, Range Rovers etc and have never had any issues. But, it's your car. Get the no name zinc rotors if that's what you want.

I just figured since they were the cheapest at Pelican, they weren't that great.

It's not like I didn't take your word on them. I did add them to cart to see the price of buying the ATE rotors.

No worries. The other day I was driving on a back road at about 100 mph when a deer (10 pt buck) decided he wanted to cross in front of me. Car stopped on a dime. No collision. Was it the rotors, pads, tires, or divine intervention? I don't know, but I know I stopped and didn't have to change my boxers!
