Need a recomendation for replacement rotors

[pgvinter]

I need new rotors for my 2001 Boxster S the most cost effective ones I have found are from Pelican Parts. Here is the link to the two sets available http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopca...BRKpad_pg3.htm# Does anyone know the difference between the Zimmerman rotors and the Genuine Porsche? Is it worth paying the extra $40 (not a significant sum of money but one that I would prefer to not needlessly waste) for the OEM replacement or are the Zimmerman parts of comparable or even better quality?

OEM parts have painted "hats". I think this is worth the extra. They look and will stay cleaner. You can paint the Zimmermans too, but what is your time worth? More than $40 for sure.

I think

Zimmerman makes the rotors, Porsche paints the centers and stocks them with a markup as their part number.

You do want painted centers. You can do it or you can pay for pre-painted ones.

I bought these 2.5 months ago and I have been very happy. (no affiliation)

I did my rear brakes on 4th of July. I still need to paint the calibers. G2 paint kit need less than 70F and I'm in Las Vegas.... :D
