There's a few local autozones here that all have the same promotion running of 15% off rotors when you buy a set of pads. Dunno if that helps in your situation but see if it's running in your area.

For ordinary rotors I think $100 for a pair is about right.

If you want slotted and cross drilled it would probably be more.

I see Rockauto.com has Raybestos Professional Grade rotors for $30 each for that car, not including shipping. Raybestos is usually a pretty decent brand, and when I've ordered parts from Rockauto they've been pretty quick with shipping things, too.

thats what happens when customers who think they know everything buy
value craft brake pads thinking everything is the same, i dont get how people act like that, but w/e,

as for the o/p look around all stores, autozone, o-Reilly, advance, parks,napa, find a pair you like with good price for what they are then call the other stores to see if they will pricematch an equal or better set of theirs.
