    autozone has some cool ones there is the duralast brand that has a lifetime warrenty "when they wear down bring them back and get another set" those are 30.99 and there are two other "performance" types that leave little to no brake dust on the wheels which are 38 and 44 (2yr warrenty) if i remember correctly autozone should have brembo rotors (slotted ithink) for us also when i worked there i remember seeing some. i just bought the lifetime warrenty one myself cuz i was getting that loud ass noise too. i cant pick up girls with my car sounding like a train comming to a stop lol

    Laz...go to Napa. I used to work for Toyota and we used Autozone, Pepboys, Advanced Auto for some parts for used cars that were getting certified to be sold as used cars. From out of all the places we bought stuff...the LEAST problems we had were parts from NAPA and this local place called Atlantic Auto Parts. Napa carries stuff close to OEM spec.
