We can get Baer rotors for under $200/pair, some AutoZones stock them (3yr warranty). So, it's not like you don't have options if you're willing to spend.

I work at AutoZone. We deliver to repair shops and dealerships. Duralast brake pads are made by Morse, our rotors are made by Brembo (I even have a couple old ones on the shelf still in the original Brembo box!) Of all the brake parts out there, usually only a handful of companies actually make them, they're just relabeled. Judge the part itself and not the brand name it carries or store it came from. Have fun overpaying at a 'real' parts store. smile [/b]
SO WHAT U RECOMMEND FOR SOME GREAT ROTORS FRONT AND BACK AND PADS.

Depends on what you want. I've got Duralast Gold ceramics on the front, back is still factory.

As for rotors, ours work fine from a functional standpoint. If you want something fancy, I'd go with R1 and I might be getting a set from them as well. Everything I've heard about them is good.
