Default Brake options

Searched already so please ask me to search again. Ok... I need brake all around. I went to Advance auto and bought some bendix rotors and pads. Came to $360.13 These are the "Premium" rotors and Pads are Bendix import quiets. Now my prelude sits most of the time. I do want the best for her, but I dont think 360 justifies for it just sitting most of the time. I only drive her maybe 2 weekends a month if that. The thing is i dont want to go cheap because of cheap rotors warp if you look at them the wrong way... dont they? Help what are some cheap rotors i can use. Yes, usually cheap and good are not in the same sentence. Also I am getting mix reviews about semi pads and ceramics. I need to return what I already bought.

He's not upgrading. He's replacing. Sometimes rotors need to be changed too. Anyway, I got Brembo blanks in front and $14 Raybestos in the rear and they've all held up fine

umm autozone sells some pretty good rotors, like 20 bux a piece.

and they don't warp unless you are just completely idiotic.

heck, i know personally a honda challenge car that uses autozone rotors and it never fails him.

Do you know the brand of the rotor? Is it duralast? Also would it be better to get decent rotors for the front and cheapo ones for the rears? I figured that'll be ok since the car brakes more from the front.
