Raybestos brake rotors?
Anyone with experience with the raybestos replacement rotors from Rock Auto care to share their thoughts? My wife's 2015 Fit EX shimmies like crazy under braking so I figured I would go ahead and replace the rotors since they are cheap and probably pads while I'm in there. I haven't had to replace rotors before and with all the horror stories of improperly heat treated rotors from China and Mexico I'm not sure what to expect.

I like Centrix rotors. Have used them on several of my cars. Here in the Road Salt Belt, the painted hubs and cooling vanes reduce the effects of corrosion.
Centrix rotors are about 60% of the cost of OEM.
That said, when shopping at RA (or any other place), don't buy the cheapest. Unless you have specific needs (IE you Autocross or track your Fit) then don't bother with the most expensive, either. Look for the heart symbol on RA to see the most popular purchases. A mid-level Raybestos would probably work OK since they are a Name Brand.

I used the Raybestos EHT pads and advanced technology rotors and they work fine. I’ve got 30K miles on them already. I am a courier so I used my brakes a lot. The shims that come with the pads are too thick. I had to reuse the original Honda shims. The rotors had some over spray from the anti-corrosion stuff. I clean them with brake clean and a razor blade. I’m very happy with them. I would use Honda oem as a backup because they lasted 80K for me. The Raybestos was a better price point.
