Cheap rotors: Beck/Arnley, etc?

RockAuto has brake rotors (Beck/Arnley, etc) for less than $20 a corner.

Does anyone know if these are crap, or good enough? I mean, if you run pads like HP+ you'll probably kill a couple of rotors, so I figure maybe cheaper ones are better over the long run than 100-dollar a piece Power Slots...

If they're anything like the NAPA rotors they'll be just fine. Plenty of people run NAPA rotors at the track with no problems whatsoever. There's really no benefit to going with the Poweslots, especially seeing as they're 5x as much.

i got some crossed drilled and slotted rotors from ebay. 20 per corner and i slapped them with HP+ and have had no problems so far (alot of high speed driving) as long as you inspect your rotors often you shouldnt have any problems

my buddy works for beck/arnley and alot(if not most) of their parts are made from manufacturers that make OE parts. They are distributors, not manufacturers. Example: he was telling me about a few parts he opened out of beck/arnley boxes had Honda shrinkwrap on it. I know that the oil filters they sell for mazdas are from the same manufacturer as ones from mazda dealerships, just no writing on them.

With that said, I have no idea where their brake rotors come from, or how good they are, but maybe he will see this post and enlighten us.
