I'm ready to redo my brakes on my 95 Buick Century. The front pads have about 25% meat left on them, but I don;t want them to go much more. Plus, I'm getting a pulsation from the pedal upon braking. The funny thing is these front rotors were new and never turned down. They were fine for about 20k miles then they started to develop this pulsation (warped, obviously). These were cheapie AutoZone rotors purchased for about 16.00 each. When I was at the counter, the guy asked me if I wanted economy, mid grade or premium rotors (sounds like they got their grading system from the gas station!) Anyway, I opted for the economy rotors. If I had bought the premiums, do you think I would've had this warping problem? I mean, how much different can the rotors be? They can't be any thicker, so I really don't know what you get with the premioums, other than a longer in store warrenty. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks! Jay
