Go with OEM. I got aftermarket and regret it. I have bad braking performance and vibration at high speed braking from R1 concept rotors.

If you want to have better stopping power and less dust go with Hawk HPS. It's only $182 for front and rear.

The Centric rotors were about half the price of OEM and are very solid- to me they look equal to or better quality-wise compared to the OEM rotors that came off my car.
