Talk to Martin from Girodisc. He'll hook you up.

I've heard good things about both the Girodisc Bailout rotors. Also take a look at Rotorpros. The blanks are ~$250.

Can't really compare the CMAX to the Ferrodo as that would be quite unfair - lol.. Nevertheless, the CMAX will pay for itself as soon as you wear them down (autozone will give you a new one - daily driver pads for life).

Oh, don't get me wrong, there IS no comparison! Like I said, I had to have pads right then and there, and the Duralasts were in stock. For the price, I do believe they are a great option for a daily driver only. I was just pointing out that the DS2500s are MY all time favorite daily driver pad (and probably some of the most expensive).

The Centric rotors are gold no matter who you get them from... hard to beat $220 shipped for a front/rear set. Mine are on their third set of pads. First two sets were Ferodo DS2000s. Still plenty of meat left on them
