Default Question: New Rotors - Strandard Brakes

I'm looking for the best deal on new rotors, and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. I just have stock brakes and I don't need anything special. So, should I just run down to the auto parts store or is there something better? Same goes for the brake pads.

Thanks.

Essentially the are 2 types of rotors: 1 and two piece. You will pay about double for a 2 piece rotor. Both types will stop the car equally. There are plenty of recommendations and critiques here. Read. Learn. Make an informed decision.

I bought rotors and pads (OEM) for all four corners from R1 concepts for about $285. I did not get the zinc plating (rust protection) and regret it. It is $5 per rotor for it and will delay shipment for like a week or two. Their website will tell you about that. I went with the std caliper posi-quiet pads.

there is a section of the forum dedicated to vendors. there is also a subsection there concerning brakes. if you do not find what you want in there you can make a thread in the vendor WTB section. hope that helps to guide you in your search
