Default Rear brake recommendations

Time to replace the rear brakes on my 200tq. Trying to be cost- conscious, without buying complete ****e. Any suggestions on BTDT pads and rotors. Gonna be ordering tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks Guys-

Default Op parts rotors $20 each and mintex pads $35 for the set.

I've used these Op parts rotors on two cars now. One nice thing other than the price is they have an anti corrosion coating on the hats and on the outer edge of the rotor.

I saw those and was interested. I cant see spending $$$ on brake rotors, when I live in the Salt City. My local Advanced has organic rears for like $20 a set. Are the Mintex good quality? I would sooner spend a little more on pads than rotors.

(and thanks for your quick reply)!!

Default I like Mintex low dust/low noise. Never had a problem with em.

Others like PBR metal masters. You could just get some from your local flaps like autozone sells lifetime guaranteed duralast brand pads.

Default Choices, choices

I went with the OP rotors and the PBR Ceramic brake pads. $13 for the discs and $34 for the pads. seemed pretty reasonable. FAP99 comes through again.
