I need some help guys.

Now i KNOW somebody is going to tell me that brakes are something you dont want to cheap out on, and i don't want to. But i am almost flat broke and don't go back to work for at least another week. I'm selling several of my things because i need brakes.

My question to you is what are good cheap brands? I need front pads and rotors because my rotors are warped beyond turning (previous owner sucks).

I've done my research and each major parts store around here

NAPA
Advance Auto
Autozone
O'Rileys
(havent checked pepboys. i hate the place)

Has a "bargain" brand.

Which would you guys go with?

 

They all have bargain pads and shoes, NAPA would be the highest of the group. Cheap pads are better than metal to metal brakes any day.

 

AutoZone and O'Reilly both have their value house brand made by the same company which last I checked is Magna Int'l.

 

i have the Autozone semi-metallic ones with the real lifetime warranty. when they wear down just return them for another new set.

 

If you need brake pads, NOW. Buy the cheapies at whoever has them cheapest. then when you have the money replace them with better pads when you can.

 

rockauto.com has ceramic for less than the parts stores semi metallic pads even with shipping
