I need to do front rotors and pads. I have gotten 80k (that's right, EIGHTY-THOUSAND) miles on my OEM pads and 142k on the original front rotors.
Both are now very thin
With this experience, it's hard not to feel the extra few bucks for OE parts is justified. However, I know there are some OE replacements that are cheaper. For example, the ones in this link:

$42 for a PAIR of "OE quality" vented rotors. He said they buy them literaly by the truckload, there are literally 30 different brands they could be, and they are all Asian.
Tell me the differences between Asian rotors and OEM/OE brands? Why would I not buy these?
If not these, what are the TOP brands of rotors and pads for OE quality?
