finally was able to get them old rotors off (with a gear extractor), and got in new rotors, along with new pads, took me about 6 hrs with the help of a buddy.
here are some pics.

What kinda rotors and pads?? Looks like they were pretty rusty.took so real work eh..

oem rotors and pads for now (saved some money). Although I plan on going atermarket later.
I had the front rotors turned, the rears were bad, so i got new ones. Finally got it done, but the hardest part was getting that rear rotor off.

but they have developed some rust in just a day, I washed/waxed the car today, and found some rust spots on the rotors, hard to clean/reach. Any solution for that??
this is pic of the day i installed them.

For rust, you need to coat the rotor in something.
Either zinc them, apply high temp clear coat or high temp engine paint to the rotor hats (not the pad contact surface)
I always paint my rotors before i put them on. I mask off the pad swept area and spray a few coats and let dry. It lasts for a long time too. I went 3 years with it on my last car like that.
