Need Rotors
My rotors are bad for the 2nd time. Lots of shaking and bouncing. During braking. I want to upgrade to better rotors. Any ideas?

What pads are you using? Some Pads are harder on rotors than others.

I'd recommend Stoptech or Brembo rotors.

Well that won't be a cheap upgrade compared to rotors and pads. The StopTech or Brembo's will sure be a nice difference

I know it would be nice but not exactly a cheap alternative.

Personally, never had a problem with BMW rotors & pads....However, I got a pair of Brembo rotors from Tire Rack and within a few months, they warped. Finally, I took them off even though they were NOT worn out, but it was bad. I agree, the combination of pads & rotors are important and more important is bedding in the pads when they are brand new.
