New rotors recommendation

You guys, the ride is an 88 IROC with J65 brakes. Somehow, some way, I've managed to warp the front rotors. I'm thinking to just replace the front rotors, wheel bearings and pads all at once.

I'm looking at Raybestos Brutestop rotors and Bendix Titanium pads. Comments? Any alternate recommendations?

Thanks.

I'm in the same boat with one warped rotor. Just bought new pads, calipers, rubber hoses. Now the passenger side rotor is warped. What is a good stock size replacement rotor. Ive heard the cheap ones are bad and warp very easy.

look at i-rotors web site, you can pick up a set of brembo rotors and pads for almost the price of stock brakes
