New rotors

I need to purchase some new rotors and brakes, anyone have any suggestions? I was hoping to drop in the local Napa and order the rotors but wasn't sure it there is something beter.

Rockauto is a good suggestion. I replaced my pads and rotors all the way around a couple summers ago and made the mistake of getting them off eBay. The wheels didn't fit back over the new rotors and it took several weeks to get them returned and my money refunded. I ended up getting new ones from Mazdatrix; it cost a bit more money, but I knew that they would work without any problems.

I run the 15 dollar specials from Rockauto.

Spend a bit more for some really nice pads though, the cheap ones will wear out before you even get the car dirty (it seems that way, at least).

The pads are more important than the rotors really.
