Where to find Rotors?

Ok, this is my last rotor post, 'cause I don't know about you, but I'm tired
of posting's 'em.

I need to know where I can find (in Northern NJ or internet based) cast iron
rotors for a 2001 XJ. I've checked auto zone's site, and they don't carry
them. Strauss's site doesn't list if they carry full cast iron rotors, and
the girl behind the counter had no idea what-so-ever.

So, if anyone knows where I can get them, PLEASE let me know.

TIA

Hank

P.S. Hopefully Bill might have something, he seems to be the Lord of the
Links.

Re: Where to find Rotors?

Are your rotors not part of the recall?

What else would they be besides cast iron?

I would be searching for brake rotors, and let the counter guy drop a load
of steel on you.

Re: Where to find Rotors?

I understand they do composite discs/rotors also ?

Re: Where to find Rotors?

All of the rotors I've found so far are composite rotors, which I was told
will warp faster then cast iron. I was also under the impression that the
cast iron would last me longer, and that the Jeep came from the factory with
composite rotors.

As for finding them, it seems someone changed a lot of things on the 2001
XJ. When I had an exhaust problem, Midas didn't have ANY of the pieces of my
exhaust and told me I had to take it to the dealership. The one website I
checked gives me two links, one for composite and one for cast iron.The cast
iron link shows that they don't currently carry it.

Guess it looks like I'll be getting composite this time around.
