its time to change out the brakes and the rotors
i have the 2010 MR,just hit 25000miles,time to change the brake and rotors, anybody know whats a good brake and rotor aftermarket set for the car? i hear ppl say that there arent many options for the MR because it has the two piece front rotor, and im not getting it change out at the dealer, they quoted me 3000 bucks, so...suggestions?

Why are you gonna drop extremely high quality 2 piece rotors for something under 700? My 2piece cost 900 for the front two alone...
Dont modify to just modify... Get the rotors "turned" and upgraded ebc or hawk pads... And realize the evo was design for performance... And the mr is at the top of the pile...

Are the rotors warped or worn out? As others have said,the MR rotors are high quality. You are likely throwing money out the window replacing them at 25k miles. Do you track the car?

As said above, definitely measure them before replacing (if you're not getting any weird vibrations from warping and/or deposits). You can buy a digital caliper from Harbor Freight for like $15 and measure them yourself, if so inclined.
