NAPA rotors are good.

I bought these Power Stop AR8210XPR - Power Stop Evolution Drilled & Slotted Rotors from Summit. I like them.

I used EBC rotors and pads on my friends 71 big block - they are amazing and with AMAZON it only cost around $200 for the fronts.. they are listed as a set - pads and rotors on AMAZON.

I have them on my HHR and they made a real difference.

They come in 3 different pad styles - normal to very aggressive.

I was sponsored by EBC so I am a big fan =) They do make very good stuff.

If the car is a driver and not for track use, since you mentioned Rock Auto I would probably just get the powerstop drilled and slotted rotors from there. Good product at a good price. More than adequate for street use.
