Default Need rotor/pad suggestions

I believe one of my rear rotors is warped. I would like to replace the rear rotors and pads. I would like some really soft pads, and some rotors that are a little better than stock. I dont want drilled/slotted rotors because I am not replacing my fronts. Just some rotors that appear stock but better. Oh and I don't want to modify anything, or pay out the @$$ for them. Any suggestions?

I just bought a pair of rear rotors from Rock Auto. They are made by Centric and they look like an upgrade from stock. Check them out. They were like $109 a pair delivered to my door.

Why dont you just have your rear rotors resurfaced.
As far as the pads, I can suggest the hawk ceramics, or Napas ADO line of ceramic pads.

I still suggest resurface the rear rotors, or buy a pair from newtakeoff or eBay.
Lets be realistic, you don't want to pay out of the ****, but you want better than stock. Not gonna happen.

Well I was thinking about $250ish for rear rotors. But your probably right, I should get them resurfaced.

My problem is that my right rear squeaks around most turns, fast or slow, sometimes going straight after applying the brakes, over bumps, and while applying the brakes lightly but not hard. I hit my that wheel on a curb, not drastically hard but it was hit. I've had this problem since then. I don't really know what else it could be. I took the pads off and they were like glass. I hit them on a belt sander and for about 5 minutes they were fine, then it came back again. Its driving me crazy!!!

Ahh, gotcha. Hope the hub is not bent.
Too bad your not close, I have my rears sitting in a box freshly resurfaced, along with the fronts.
Running drilled/slotted now.
