BAP GEON/express autoparts. There's one at the beach off of first colonial... near laskin(on same side of road as wendy's and taco hell). There's also one on jefferson in NN (on right coming from mercury). I would definitely call ahead as they are small stores and don't/can't stock a whole lot. Regardless of where you get them, make sure to pick up a can of brake parts cleaner & clean the hell out of em before you put em on (get oil off), new pads are also recommended. Impact screwdriver ($9 whackit with a hammer model) will also make the job go a lot smoother.

....also offering help if needed

How "warped" is your rotor? You may just need it cut/keyed/turned (everybody calls it something different).

Don't expect better braking from the rotors mentioned in this thread. They will just look cool.

If one is warped and the other isnt you have a more serious problem than just replacing the rotor you need to find out the cause and fix that first. Rotors warp evenly when you brake to hard too fast, rotors tend to warp on one side due to a technical failure such as your brake line on the side thats warped could be flowing properly and the unwarped side is blocked preventing even braking in the front/rear.....But if nothing else just get it turned dont expect a lot of performance as Skywalker said out of these products.......

I was just warning him so he's not disappointed.
