Autozone Rotors
Anyone use Durlast brake rotors from Autozone? Looking to not spend as much on rotors and was also looking at Rotorpros but I prefer buying parts locally which brought me to look at these Rotors. Anyone use these? Not sure what pads I'd use them with yet but I won't be skimping on pad price though. I don't really do much with the Evo other than go backroading and plan to do track days as soon as my work schedule allows. I'm also not a fast driver so I doubt I'd put as much abuse on them.
These are the rotors in question:

I havn't ran them on the evo, but I did use dura last ones on my ITR, and that car was tracked heavily. Compared to Brembo blanks, they did not last very long but very few rotors do in a high stress environment. If you're just using them to putz around town, they should do just fine.

Well I stated above I prefer to buy locally. If I can buy a part from a shop I can walk in to I would try and get that over anything I have to order from across the state or country.

If its mostly driving around time and commuting, with a few spirited drives then I would say go for it. If you get the duralast golds you also get free lifetime warranty. Take back your pads and rotors when the pads are half worn and you will get free replacement pads and rotors. Cant beat that for a commuter.

I am sorry but this doesnt make sense, you say you are not broke but you dont want to spend money on the rotors??? Dude thats your brakes, thats what stops your car so as other mentioned IF you can afford it get better rotors and pads, so they can last longer, not overheat and not squeek either. If you dont like spending money on safety of you and your car then where would you rather spend the money

Spend the money buy good rotors, for one most of autozone parts come from china, whats that tell u cheap parts, cheap material, autozone rotors are known for overheating and warping/cracking, have seen it numerous times with customers that brought there vehicles in for service. They dont hold up well to heat, you want good pads and rotors without breakin the bank, look into ebc, hawk, as far as rotors go im runnin centric power slot slotted front rotors and centric oe style rears with hawk hps pads, ss lines motul brake fluid. Especially if you drive hard on your car, now I know autozone lifetime warranty, but lifetime warranty means they know the brake parts are ****, so thats why they expect people to come in regular to change em..haha
