Why do you think you need new rotors?

After you answer that /\ question, do an advanced search of "rotors", with "Zeus" as the user

You've had the car for a week right? What are the measurements on those worn out rotors?

you do need new ones if they are too thin because if you get to thin when your pads wear down, the caliper pistons could be pushed out of their cylinders.

just go to an auto parts store and get some wagner rotors or whatever they have. i got a rear set of rotors for $80 with lifetime warranty

hawk makes good pads, just do not get the hawk blue. you will go through more rotors than pads
