Default New brake discs?

My WH Grand is experiencing a bit of shudder under brakes. The discs on the car have a substantial wear lip in them so I reckon its time to replace all the discs. Rock Auto? Where is the best price for a good quality disc. Some people want to charge me a couple of hundred each. Anybody bring any stuff like this heavy into Oz from Rock Auto? Happy to take suggestions folks.

regards

Thanks guys.

Clarky, do you have an opinion on the quality of these items?? Have you used them? They look too good to be true. Not that they are, but I am in the very early stages of pricing this stuff and Jeep wants my first born for a set!

Not used them but probably will
ADB (Australian Disc Brakes) is an Australian company
http://www.adbbrakes.com/page/home

RDA brakes that MidnightMods sells have a good rep.

I replaced the front disks on my previous WJ with DBA rotors when I suffered the same symptoms as you. Combined with a set of new pads I never had an issue with them after that. Didn't cost too much, I bought the rotors through my local Super Cheap Auto store (new someone there and got it at staff price).
