Exclamation brake pads & rotors

hey i was wondering if you guys knew where to get a good deal on rotors and brake pads for a 94 camaro Z28. im a high school student so all i want is something as good as stock and affordable, it doesn't need to be crossed drilled or slotted rotors with brembo pads or something...though that would be nice thanks for any help in advance

I don't know about places near you, but figure on spending 150-200. (Assuming just getting back or front done) I paid 130 for the back, but I work in a shop, so I paid cost for the parts, and the mechanic only took 50 since we work together.

Autozone has Aimco rotors and Performance Friction Carbon Metallic pads. These are reasonable priced and usually wear fairly good for a stock application. Lifetime warranty on the pads too. This would be a lot cheaper alternative to dealer priced parts. I have used these parts with great success in the past.

Stock rotors were $25 a piece at autozone. I don't see why they wouldn't work just as well as an expensive set. For brake pads, if you don't mind brake dust, get their cheap pads from Autozone also. They are 19.99 and have a lifetime warranty. I can't stand brake dust so I bought some EBC Greenstuff pads, but they are $100 for the front set. I got my cross drilled and slotted rotors from ebay for $100 for the front, that was about 10k miles ago, and no cracks, and no squeaks.
