Default I just got Duralast rear rotors from Autozone...PBR Deluxe rear pads
There's a cheap solution for the rear

I would go a bit less cheap for the front though as it does ~70% of the car's braking iirc.

2nd, great setup. If you want cheaper, just get stock rotors.

Default best price on hawk pads can be found on raceshopper.com
I picked up a new set of front rotors for $100 from someone who had them and never installed

stock or whitebox front rotors. HPS pads... little noisy at times but good performance.
