I bought them off eBay from brakemasters (also known as 88 Rotors).

Honestly, I'm happy with the purchase. Stopping power is better than OEM and the pads seem fine to me.

The rust is a problem BUT you can go with another eBay seller who has them for $20 more with zinc-coating so they won't rust - I would have done this but had no idea.

Also, I just bought rear ceramic pads and blank rotors for my dad's 98 maxima. $60 shipped. No problems at all with his.

Yea I have 88 Rotors brand on my G coupe spraypainted black before the install of course. I have since done a brake job on my fiance's car and was surprised that 88 rotors were NOT the least expensive. So whatever it is, you have to shop around.

Where'd you find cheaper brakes/rotors? Are they drilled/slotted as well?

rockauto.com sometimes parts are cheaper there, sometimes not. I think there's also autowarehouse. In this case, the brakes were for a lexus ES330. Wagner blank economy rotors and their thermoquiet pads were the best deal (with rebate). I painted the rotors and they've been great ever since the install. Surprisingly, their pads work and feel great too. Also, there's no visible dust! it's a great oem match for lexus.
