Question Where to go for OE replacement rotors for '03 ES?

I need to replace the stock rotors and have not had much luck in my search - probably because I'm not sure where to search.

AutoZone, Advanced Auto Parts and Pep Boys all said I'd need to go to the dealer because the car was to new.

While I'm here asking about replacement rotors...
Is there any place that offers "affordable" brake upgrades similar to that of www.fastbrakes.com = below $800.00?

OT: Are the OZ brakes any different than the ES - other than the bolt pattern?

Thanks for your help!

I think he said he's looking for OE, although I'm not sure why you would be picky on having OE. Or is it just that you've had trouble finding the right size? If so, take a look at the RRM ones, or PM KTRLancer02, she might be able to find the rotors she has in the ES size.

Thanks! I'll check them out in the AM. If I've got other questions I'll be back.

urbanknight - My bad... I meant to state I was looking for OE "size" replacement rotors and/or "affordable" upgrade kits. - Thanks.

OK... I'm back...

All I saw on RRM's site was a set of cross-drilled/slotted type rotors for something like $190. "I" feel that's too much $ for just 2 front rotors - and nothing else! If it came with upgraded brake lines or some brake pads it might be worth it.

I guess I'll go with the basic stock size replacement rotors (non cross-drilled or slotted).

Can someone direct me to where I might be able to get standard (OE size) rotors outside of a dealership?

I got mine off e-bay, not oe but cheaper than oe and their Brembos. Good luck finding oe ones through someone else other than the dealer. When I was looking around I went to Brake Check, Goodyear and places like that and they all said they would just call the dealer and get them from there.

Well "IF" I came across some helpfull info and find some rotors, I'll reply here. If not... I may just get the rotors turned and wait a little longer for OE "type" replacement rotors to become more available!
