I am extremely happy with my ultra cheap rotors I got found on E-bay, then got a cheaper price by contacting the vendors themselves.. They have been on my car for 9 months now, and have zero rust, zero wear, nor warpage with about 8-9000 miles on them

They are slotted rotors (they also have drilled/slotted, drilled only, and blanks) Shipped to my house for $176.69 for all 4

I got them from brakelabs.

How am I suppose to even find the ones that fit my car if some of them don't even have pics. Does the size matters?

As you can see by my beat to **** rims, rusted lug nuts and oxidized brake calipers, these rotors go through a hard life.

Akebono?

Those are typically OEM replacements, so no.

Hawk pads would be superior, but it depends on application and use...

Just get street pads or aggressive street pads. Some of the ceramic pads are fine for street. If they say street pads anywhere on them, you're fine.

Ceramics - even Hawk's - are low dust but also low stopping and prone to judder/pulse if used hard. If you rarely use the brakes hard they'd be fine though.

Posi-Quiet metallic are good for lowish $$. A bit more robust than a typical store pad.

Centric standard or premium rotors get the job done. The standards are not made as well and rust on non friction surfaces but are cheap.
