Duralast is an Autozone brand that most likely use the centric knockoff rotors. Their duralst gold "might" be centrics but I doubt it. I don't have proof either way, I'm just speculating on that so take that for what it's worth. Are duralast rotors good enough for daily driving? Are duralast pads good enough for daily driving? Sure. I mean, are you seriously needing to stop from 125mph on your daily commute, regularly? I hope you aren't. As with a lot of evo owners, the itch to take if autoxing or hpde's starts to happen and that's why a lot of guys on here recommend a more durable brake pad. Their rotors I'm sure are good enough though. I don't know what pricing your local Autozone has for evo parts, but our Autozone pricing out here for pads aren't worth it since you can get stoptechs for about the same. The only difference is with the Autozone pads you get lifetime warranty... They might have a tendency to squeal though.

cheap ones for daily driving and centrics and OEM brembos if you want ones that will last for competitive use.

i say its more of how you use your car and the type of budget. I only have 44k miles on my 8 and i just changed my front rotors whcih i only put less than 12k miles on the rotors. Duralast rotors are from China and Ive used them in my previous vehicle which they didnt last long.

Why wouldnt you trust the autozone rotors on an evo? For street driving---and what I mean by that is NOT street racing or driving around neighborhoods like its Talladega, they are perfectly fine. Even if they have a greater tendency to warp you get a free warranty to replace them. They should be fine for autox use as well BUT I wouldnt recommend them so much for that due to the increased heat your introducing them.

The autozone pads will brake your evo just fine, but they are a cheap material likely to squeal a lot. The evo duralast pads are $35 so you get what you pay for.

I experience Autozone rotors warping after a 6 months to a year but if you take them back with a little fuss they replace them for free, I've done this atleast 5 times its seriously became routine maintenance lol.
