Been having the vibrations when braking excess of 50+ mph. I went and got the rotors checked and they fall below minimum spec. My simple question is which good, kind of cheap rotors are the best. I do no track time, and just use it as my daily driver. What are the price ranges usually? 50-80 per one?

2008 Automatic/blue color

Tried to charge me 300 for new rotors plus labor?

I get most of my parts from Advance Auto.
You can get substantial discounts ordering online and picking them up.
Front brakes aren't very hard to replace if you have some mechanical aptitude.
I can't recall how much I paid, but it's easy enough to look them up online.
Edit* I assume that price included new pads.
$300 is not outrageous for new pads, rotors and labor.

Thank you for the quick reply, will check online, most likely go to advanced auto and get some.

Oh and it was 450 with new pads and rotors. And 130 for just the pads lol smh

Yeah, $450 is steep.
Check for online discount coupons before ordering.
Plenty of DIY info on here if you need it.
The hardest part is usually getting the safety screws off.
Impact screwdriver or a little propane torch heat first helps.
Feel free to PM if you need assistance.

Check online. they should have pads for around $80.
I personally would stick with genuine parts because pad rotor in compatibility is not something you want. And pads that don't meet OEM specification can cause you a lot more work.
