We put way less than 10,000 miles a year on her car.

Tight on funds at the moment.

Would this do the job for a few years??

Generally on here, most people prefer Centric rotors. If your calipers are original though, I'd go ahead and do the 5th gen caliper upgrade. Personal recommendation, I'd go with coated centric or power stop rotors, Napa calipers, and your preferred brake pad (my preference is Akebonos).

That said, if you are trying to keep costs down, I'd definitely go with 1AAuto. I wish I knew more about what they do in terms of part sourcing, but most of the parts I've gotten from them have been like old school Napa: not OEM, but a very solid performance/$ option. I will note that they don't tend to carry things that the aftermarket options are universally thought to be terrible, like steering pumps or racks. I also have nothing but good things to say about their customer service, which is more than I can say for Pepboys and Advance Auto.
