Default brake rotor replacement?

Hi guys, looks like i might have to replace my front rotors soon...

I wanted to get some feedback, should i spend some more and get original oem? or am i ok with just getting oem replacement? I was looking at brembo oem replacement rotors, are these ok? or would centric be better?

Thanks,
James

get oem replacement blanks made by centric. i buy mine from honsport.com. their website isn't always up, but you can check out their facebook and give them a call or shoot them an email. cheapest prices i've found online.

or go to hondaautomotiveparts.com i got lucky and found a very lightly used set. if the after market replacements are much cheaper and you aren't racing then go with those. but most people that race their S2k's swear by the OEM rotors.

premium whats really the big difference? dont spend the extra money if its not needed. i would invest that left over money to bleed the lines.
