Yes, Autozone and Pep Boys will have cap and rotors. I've used Bosch cap and rotors and haven't had any problems.

u know what? oem caps and rotors are only a few bucks more than aftermarket... why not just get oem? i've heard from 2 different sources that oem are just plain superior to any aftermarket caps and rotors. one was a tech at honda (actually, 2 former honda tech, that now are toyota techs.) and the other was at a conference that was held at school. there's a 800 number techs can call if they're stuck on a problem, and apparently, alot of aftermarket caps, especially made in italy, crapped out on way too many people that the company straight out recommends against anything other than oem.

i always use OEM cap and rotor bc 1.) in my old honda, if i used an aftermarket one, it made my radar dectector go crazy, which makes me think that there's something not designed completly right on the after market ones and 2.) i get a discount at the dealer so its like the same price.....but even if i didnt, id still get OEM just bc of my past experience w/aftermarket and bc its only a couple dollars more.
