What is the difference between OEM vs OE. I know the main difference but what are the quality differences if any? OEM Rotors are between $100-140, where OE are between $50-$100

I am going to pick up an extra set of rotors for back ups when/if I have any failures but wanted to know from the track guys if they buy oem or oe rotors? I have done the research on why just by the stock rotors but can't find any discussions on which type of stock rotor to buy. I am currently running Hawk Blues up front with OEM rears. Only worried about the fronts at the moment. Any feedback on where and what rotors people got would also be helpful.

Thanks!

OEM and OE mean the same thing. OE means original equipment. OEM means original equipment manufacturer, but is often incorrectly used to describe original equipment. They both mean "stock". "OE type" means equivalent to the stock part.

I bought Centric replacement rotors for about $50 each when the stock rotors were almost worn out.

Thanks for the reply. I knew the difference, I was just wondering if there were quality differences??

Also, for $50/each where did you pick those up from?

Thanks!

I am seeing a lot of options here for stock replacement rotors...

OP, Pronto, EBC, Centric, Winhere, Beck, etc...

Some of these are only $28/each plus shipping... Are all of these deemed the same?

Feedback is greatly appreciated!

Anyone used the ones from Napa?

Thanks!

these rotors are usually fine and should last a reasonable amount of time given that u cool them down properly after each run session
centric seems to be a popular choice? i have a set but havent had a chance to use them yet
however do be cautious of where you get them from. i had a bad experience with some unnamed rotors that were going for $20 a piece. one of the rotors cracked after 2 track days. the other one cracked when i had to brake hard on highway because of upcoming traffic.
