Wow, seems like nobody here likes to save money....

RotorPro rotors (250 for 4) ((Get slotted only))
http://www.maperformance.com/store/p...cat=604&page=1

HPS pads (150-180 depending on vendor)

I use this combo on the street and for AX events.

EDIT: Ill add - the AutoZone specials are down right scary. I tuned someones car once and 3 pulls worth of driving there were NO braking ablities left. Not fun to drive.

DBA is not a budget rotor. I had a great budget setup before, Power slot with Project Mu NS street pads. Or you can buy the used OEM rotor with minimal miles.

How many miles you got? the rotor don't usually wear that fast.
