Napa Gold.

But I'm an old, stock-only fusspot. Some of the more performance minded will be along shortly to weigh in. I avoid Autozone/Kragen/O'Reilly's/Pep Boys as a rule though. It's too easy to end up with something that will fail and leave you stranded. Rotors shouldn't matter, but I'm past the point of wanting to risk it.

Brembo blanks are considered good rotors. You can get them from TireRack.com readily. I typically just run whatever pads are considered stock replacement, but I had a car with Hawk pads that stopped really well. I can't remember if they were HPS or HPS+, but they were one of those two.

Here is a site to see how much NAPA parts are. Worth the little bit more for NAPA.http://www.dmauto.com/web/dmauto/catalog/
