i would just go with factory replacements, there is no real point of upgrading rear brakes since they only do a small fraction of the braking,and plus the factory system is awesome, stops on a dime, ofcourse if u have the bigger brake option.

Autobarn.com seels rotors for $50-60 each. That's pretty cheap, and they do a good job. You can get cheap pads from Pep Boys for less than $20.

You need a impact screwdriver to get those shits off by the way, just bring it to someone to do, they will probably charge you $40 or so labor.

As they say, factory rotors you don't drive hard enough for anything else I can only think of a few people who do.

I got the Powerslotted rotors only because they dont rust and they look cool behind the rim, besides I needed new ones anyhow so I figured why not. I would never take off perfectly good rotors for no reason. You sure your rotors cant be cut/turned bigtime? Is this your mechanical abilities that have determined you need new ones? Are they grinding to ****? If not you may be able to have them turned.

I'd go ahead and take care of that! If you don't do a lot of your own work, brakes would be a good way to get your feet wet. It's pretty straightforward stuff.
