Needs Rotors (maybe calipers)
I need to get new Rotors put on my '06 Automatic TL. I am very confused as to what to get and how much to pay for installation.
Now I don't want to do any major modifications or anything. All I want is the same size as the stock rotors but alittle better. I was thinking slotted+drilled rotors and I was thinking those that look nice, powdered coat or likewise. (not the whole rotor, just the middle of it)
I see there's so many of them on line and I have no idea what is/isnt quality.
What should I get? Links would be helpful.

I am using Rotora slotted rotors with Rotora H2 ceramic pads. I got em from www.excelerateperformance.com. Josh also stocks a few other companies that i'm drawing blanks on. Shoot him a PM his user name is Excelerate.
Oh yea, the brakes aren't difficult to do, you could save a good amount of cash doing it yourself. there is a write up on how to do it if your not sure.
Also Marcus at www.heeltoeauto.com stocks brakes notably racing brake and a few others i'm not sure of either. You could PM him too his user name is Mrheeltoe

I went on Autoanything.com and I found some EBC rotors for $155 for the rears. Is that a good brand? What are the brands that I should stick to?

EBC is a good brand, i had them and had good luck with them. However They are more expensive than the rotora's. Possibly more than racing brake, powerslot but not 100% on that. PM marcus and josh and see what prices they offer. Our site vendors help us out.

ROTORA rotors and ROTORA H2 ceramic brake pads are a great combination. Better performance, low dust, low noise, much less prone to warpage than the OE rotors.
Use promo code AZ ROTORA for a discount on the rotors when ordering from our web store http://store.excelerateperformance.com

i went with EBC Ultimax slotted rotors for the rear. I am not changing the fronts just yet - dont have the money - but I still want to replace all pads.
Are the Honda ceramic pads good or should I go with something else? I just want adequate braking, longer wear time, and low dust/low noise.
