I got mine on ebay. From 2daybrakes (88rotors have the same products) I got all 4 with pads for under $200. A little squeaky sometimes, but nothing a can of brake spueak onto the rotors can't fix

carefull with the ebay crap, especially with drilled rotors. I read many posts on all kinds of forums of rotors cracking and warping. I actualy seen a sunfire with cross drilled rotors go down the street, brake rotor fell apart and couple stop right and hit the curb.

yea to be honest.
1) you don't wanna go cheap (especially on brakes)
2) you don't wanna get brakes from ebay
3) usually name brand is a safer bet
4) don't quote me on this but, i heard drilled are more prone to cracking than slotted
5) (the biggest one of all) you get what you pay for. ya gotta pay to play
