Default Rotor ?'s

Alright...I've got a warped driver's side rear rotor...

1) I need suggestions on where to go to get a replacement (local or internet). I do not need anything crazy...a simple OEM replacement or cheap upgrade one will work.
2) Should I do anything to the passenger side rotor to keep braking properties in balance?

Thanks for all the input. Please don't argue, discuss.

Thanks guys. I do not need, nor want cross drilled rotors, blanks will do fine. Keep the info coming, but if this groupbuy is being shipped when the order is made, I'm probably gonna go ahead and do all four.

Because one, they reduce the mass of the rotor, which reduces its thermal capacity. Secondly, drilling them reduces the structural integrity of the rotor. A cross drilled rotor is much more likely to crack. The porsche one's are cast with the holes, which helps to eliminate that problem.

Autozone, they're like $20 a piece or close to that. OEM one's are very expensive if you pay retail. 100 a piece or so. Just stick to Autozone or a car parts store like that, they are cheap, reliable and some provide a lifetime warranty. Oh yeah, for that price, get both fronts.
