Generally good advice....but listen to this; my Durango warped the rotors every 6k to 8k miles....Dodge rotors, aftermarket rotors, didn't matter. I finally put the Wilwood BBK with 16" rotors on the front...been on for over 20k, no warping, not even slightly....However, the rear rotors continue to warp every 6k miles...do I buy EXPENSIVE Dodge rotors for $190 each?? No, I buy cheap Summit drilled, slotted rotors for 50 bucks each, and throw the old ones on the WRP (warped rotor pile) in the back of the warehouse.
