front brake disk for 2002 Impreza 2.5 TS

[Andy Leszczynski]

Hi
We resurfaced them (at almost 90k miles) and installed new OEM pads but
it did not help much. At speeds 70-80 mph a moderate braking still
causes a serious vibration. Not as bad as before, but still not acceptable.

I need to buy new disks. Should I go with OEM or the after market?

Thx,
A.

Also, you may want to confirm that your tires are not part of the
problem. See if rotating them has any effect on the symptom.

FWIW: I went with Brembo
(http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brak...ake=Brembo&model=Replacement+Rotor&perfCode=P)
bought at tirerac.com for $112 with S&H. They feel like orginal new
brakes now.
