What kind of rotors to buy?

Actually I bought already 2 rear rotors and 2X2 pads for 45$ from Nakamoto. https://www.am-autoparts.com/2003/Ac...RoCsocQAvD_BwE
So what would be line of thinking here? Anyone used in past Nakamoto? Al part stores wanted for just one rotor 36$. So two rotors and pads would cost me almost 100$. What are best brands of rotors?

I have stoptech cryo rotors....never had a problem. of course these are much more expensive than what you have, but I don't plan on replacing rotors often and these have lived up to that expectation.

Brembo blank rotors are what I have on my TL. Well machined and have some the best anti-corrosion coating of any rotor which is great for tanking winter salt.

You can try brakeperformance.com any selection from blank, slotted, drilled, drilled/slotted, slotted/dimple and they offer ceramic pads as well. Any auto brand. Bought a kit set for my wife’s car of the slotted/dimple with ceramic pads and love the braking power. U can’t go wrong with Brembo but if you are in a budget, the quality is good and last.

For the rear, I wouldn't worry too much. Most of the braking is done with the front brakes.

For the front, I went with EBC slotted years ago after having the ones that were on the car when I got it wrapped. This seemed to be a somewhat common problem and high-quality rotors on the front made a difference.

A late bump but all great options. For a stock daily driver I run the raybestos line from Rock auto. They are low dust stop good and are quiet. Get the coated rotors (like I did)for a few bucks more. You can get pads and rotors for the front and rear for a little under 100 bucks.
They key to that site is getting the best parts you can afford shipped from the same
warehouse. Here are the part numbers for the pads and rotors.

Didn't know that. Was about to buy wheel bearings so I will keep that in mind.
