i need new brake rotors (front only, non 1LE).

i just want some plain local parts store (advance, autozone, nappa, pep) replacement rotors. what brands, features, etc. should i be looking for, and what should i steer clear of??
you guys had any luck with any in particular?

same with pads....which do you guys like? semi met, or are those ceramic ones any good? or is it carbon??

 

AIMCO, Raybestos, Brembro and other name brands seem good.

 

ive heard bendix is the stuff to get. pretty advance carries bendix
