I went to advanced auto and got thier x-drilled rotors for 70.99 ea. side. I used thier friction master ceramic front pads made by Morse for 55.00. It was the least expensive option I could find and the rotors do not cup like the ones from the factory. After a couple of months they are still nice and smooth. Hope this helps.

I agree with Mike. I just replaced my rotors and pads last weekend. Got the parts from AutoZone for the same price. Plus the people at AutoZone are very knowledgable. $71 for rotors $55 for pads $3 for brake parts cleaner (take advantage of having your brake assembly disassembled to clean everything, amazing how filthy they get!) and a 24 pack of Coors Light and pizza for a buddy who's willing to help. All together (including beer n food) I spent $250. Took us less that 2hrs to change everything.
One tip...dont use an allen key to get the bolt out of the rotor...use the star key that locks into it all the way. Otherwise you'll strip the head.

I got mine from Jim@brakemotive.com $290 shipped. Zinc cross drilled and slotter and ceramic pads. Real happy with the result.
