$135 for the pair to start ... no hubs.
I think you can do much better.
You can get Raybestos Brute stop rotors (drilled 'n' slotted) for
just over $50 at rockauto. Raybestos PG Plus rotors are just over $20 each.

I think the Raybestos prices are great. Mine are Powerstop and they costed about 30% more for drilled only. At $50 each for drilled and slotted it is very reasonable. Raybestos specialize in brakes so I would say they are a pretty safe bet.

My rotors are almost 18 months old and look great thanks to the coating.

Hi: www.rotorpros.com. Check thses guys out. I got some from this guy. The rotors look great. The zinc coating has not come off yet. even where the pad touches still looks good. Their prices are good. None of the ront rotors come with the hubs. Not for those prices. You have to drill out the rivets on the hubs of your original rotor & hub assembly. I drilled out 4 holes like on the original rotors & then used grade 8 nuts, bolts, & lock washers.

If they don't come w/ zinc coated hubs and the coating rubs off of the rotor/brake pad contact patch...someone please tell me what is the advantage to putting your old refurbished hub on and then have it all look like crap soon again?????? Seems to me the zinc coated hub would be the iceing on the cake to go with the drilled/slotted rotor!

Hey, that's a good question. 
I painted mine with a Silver Epoxy paint. They look pretty good. 
I paid 200 bucks for all 4 corners for my C3 from www.rotorpros.com

i was looking at the ebay listing above, thought about raybestos @ 200.00 but everything i have heard is CAST STEEL is cast steel, as long as the rotors true should be no problems! But if ya want to spring a extra $50.00 ?? Thanks for the TIP stingry about using old pads to clear the zink off! makes sense, Im redoing all the brakes on all 4 corners new lines new master new ss calipers new ebrakes & ss hard ware Might as well get the slots and cross drills, get all the stop power i can for the 427
