Duralast or Bendix rotors?
Yes I've searched and do NOT WANT brembos. For the time being they are out of my budget. I searched both words and have found 2 posts saying Bendix rotors were not really good. My current stock rotors are already warped after I have resurfaced them at my shop about 7 months ago and have already reached my minimum thickness level. And yes I do realize that 3rd gen 4Runners are bad about warping rotors so don't give me the review. I've seen a few post about using autozone's rotors and being shipped for $130 dollars but no brand listed. I am just curious if anyone has run either Durlast or Bendix rotors, how long, what is your experiences with them, and did they warp any sooner than factory rotors? Thanks in advance!

Update 2-14-2006
Well It's settled. I bought and installed the Duralast rotors which only cost me like $65 with the discount. I will update in a few months and hopefully with good reviews about them.
Update: As promised I have edited this to update the current conditions of my Duralast rotors. They warped again! The rears were adjusted so I didn't touch it and the LSBV seems to be ok, but the rotors warped all over again. The left side was very visibly warped and had it replaced under warranty. Next time after the warranties run out I am going with brembos. Avoid the cheap Duralast junk from Autozone.
