OE or not to OE

[NickTheTrick]

That is the question.
So I can get some decent rotors for less than $50 at work, but I'm a stickler for Motorcraft and OE parts. I just don't like using aftermarket if I don't have to.
But with rotors, would it really matter? Should I spend the extra $50 on some OE rotors?

"it depends" - some of the aftermarket rotors are just as good as the oe parts, and some are junk, so it depends on the quality of the parts you can get. I rarely buy oe brake parts (because many times the oe pads were not ceramic and I hate dirty wheels...) but there have been times I wished I bought different rotors cause I could not keep them from warping.

I would buy from a good-name manufacturer, and I would not look for the OEM replacement.

Same here depending on price differential. If oem is close to quality aftermarket I would lean oem.
