Rotors and pads

Going to replace front rotors and pads. Who has found a good deal on rotors and good (low dust) ceramic pads, and from whom? I don't want to spend a fortune, just some good sound parts that are reasonably priced.

Thanks

I went with rotors from rotorpros.com and Hawk HPS pads.

Not sure if we have vendors here who sell rotors?

I did a search and found some feedback on forum vendor. So I sent off PM. I am wondering who may have a good experience with a low dust brake pad, brand? Has anyone hand a bad experience with a brand? I was not really looking to go slotted/drilled rotors, but seems like everyone thinks these are the fleas knees. How does this zinc treated stuff hold up against rusting? Thanks for input y'all.

I'm very pleased with Morse Ceramics on stock rotors. They stop good, no noise, no dust. Got them from Autozone ... around $70 I think.

Found mine on Ebay from Brake Labs. Very happy! Low price and very good quality.

I use Centric rotors from Rockauto (Part# 12062059, 12062060, 12062061, 12062062) which are good enough for the track so they'll be fine for the street plus they are painted throughout so no rust. I also use Carbotech pads.
