Anyone heard of "A Plus" or "A+" brand rotors?

[Grant Lenahan]

Never heard of them.
But I dont really follow - you have a price for a brake job (installed) 
and a cheaper price for mail-order parts.
I'm obviously missing something.

You can get pretty good prices on Zimmerman and other OEM-quality 
aftermarket rotors at lots of places such as ECS, GPR and others.
