I was happy with the Wagner premium e-coated rotors. They don't need any special prep and you shouldn't even use brake cleaner on it (I did by accident and had no problem). I think they were about $45 each on Amazon.
Had to use the original hardware on the rear pads because the hardware Raybestos sent is the wrong fit. Gonna do rotors now, any recommendations thats not Raycraptos?
I live near an advance auto parts and have never had any problems with their parts. They've also got the painted rotors that will help them last a bit longer in salty areas. The part number is YH145330P. That also being said, I've put their platinum line of brake pads on a lot of cars and they hold up really well, no noise, no dust etc. If you wanna replace those too, that part number is PXD606H.

I like the Centric options as well...
If you are shopping calipers, just note that there is the 141 series and the 142 series. The 142 cost a little more but they use more new/better parts in the rebuild and I think the caliper itself if coated as well.
I went with the 141, but learned about the 142 after the fact. Still didn't have any problems, but for the small cost in price, I would get the 142 if I had to do it again.
Rotors and pads have also been pretty good... nothing to report other than they just seems like normal things that work fine.
