are rotors sold seperately or in pairs? Any estimates on how much standard replacements run? Im low on cash right now but i need new ones so i have to go standard. Im all wheel disc. front wheel drive.

i don't know what your budget is but you can give these a try:

http://www.raceconcepts.net/

90 bucks for front pair and 80 bucks for back pair. Call them and talk to a guy named Wood. Tell him to give you the ASOG / 2GNT discount. He's reliable and hella quick with shipping. They are brembo blanks-dimpled and slotted plus look real cool. I heard the stock shit warps.

I am going w/the raceconcepts ones next. The stock ones are garbage. I just replaced the rotors like 15-20k ago, and they are warped, and braking all crappy.
Seems like Metal Matrix is the best pad to use w/these.

If budget is tight, just check autozone or local parts vendor. Our rotors were offered on many of the mitsu cars for quite a few years. They are very common and most places will have them in stock.

Try and get an american made rotor(auto speciality or whatever). The ones from Taiwan will warp rather easily unless cryotreated, but that is another subject.

If you have to go really cheap on the pads, try and at least get a name brand. Example: Brake Best pads from Oreillys are really cheap, but do not work for crap and dust massively on the rotors. Wagner makes a decent semi metallic pad will not break the bank and will stop your car great.

I think you can find front rotors for less than $25 each(two required) and pads for $35 or less. Flush and fill your brake system if you have the chance. Just buy a cheap bottle(1 quart) of Dot 3 fluid and a brake flushing kit($3) and you are set. Less than a total of $10 extra.
