The stockers just gave out...what is cheap to get as I don't really need anything performance wise...autozone said rotors are 70$ a piece!? Any kits sold here with pads and rotors?

Thanks for any help

Im not trying to be an *** ... but isn't it true? 70 bux and u say its expensive? u really should be driving a Civic then, 40-50 bux a pop for rotors, and pads are like 30-40 bux a pair, can't go wrong with that.

OEM replacements are around 80-110 a piece for a rotor. Pads are from 70-150 a pair. It all depends on where you get them from.

Good luck on your search. I would suggest upgrading to probably Hawk ceramic pads and a set of stoptech or racing brake rotors for the extra piece of mind.

The last time I bought rotors for my Accord they were $15 apiece.
