Autohauzaz.com sell both although the Meyle are $12 less per rotor. Both are made in Asia/India. Does anyone have real-world experience with either one? I would not mind saving $24 if they are equal quality.

not sure if you are replacing your factory rotors with factory oem replacements but i bought my rotors here but they were zimmer man crossdrilled. take a look here to see if you find anything
autopartswarehouse.com
if you enter giftoptions at check out you get a addition 10% off plus free shipping over 50 bucks
i always get emails from them since i bought some things from there
i typed that place you have and it doesnt bring up anything so i cant tell you if this place has better deals but they carry balo

I think I bought Balo, I remember they were also once a OEM part..? Eitherway, they work the same as before even though I have PBR Deluxe pads

Learned my lesson...I don't buy other than factory OEM rotors now.
However, I love Akebono Euro Ceramic brake pads!

what lesson did you learn ? i m using zimmerman with oem mercedes pads in front and got the rear pads from brakesplus since my friend is a manager, they put some pads that are formulated like oem and haven't had any issues....

4 months ago,i bought the Meyle ones,they are more than fine,but i spent perhaps three weeks with a stupid noise coming from the E-brake system,the rotors being thicker than oem ones were touching,they don't sound anymore ,that's perhaps the price,once you go aftermarket or at least a diff.type.In terms of drilled,i had them and i rather go with the slotted ones from EBC.drilled tend to break and rust faster.
