I just replaced my rotors with Brembo rotors and hawk pads. I have had a problem with rotors warping. I got them locally from CarQuest for $55 each. On a side note, I ordered some powerslots and they sent me the wrong sive (to large of a center hub opening ) comparing them side to side, the Brembos seemed heavier and beefier/ thicker for half the price.

Autozone Duralast. Just as good as the Brembo blanks and others that I've tried (and slightly cheaper). Only one I've found that comes with a 2 year warranty. Too bad NAPA doesn't carry warrantees, because I really like their stuff.

The best rotors I've found are Wagner rotors (and other brake products) from O'reilly auto parts.
Just about all Wagner products have a lifetime warranty.
One the subject of rotors, have you considered the Tundra brake mod. Stick on a pair of Tundra calipers and thicker Tundra rotors and you will MUCH better brake performance and never have to deal with warped rotors again.
I recently did the Tundra brake mod on my 3rd Gen and replaced the rear brakes while in there and I was AMAZED at how much better the brakes are. It will stop on a dime and give ya nine cents change.
Or if your cheap like me it stops on a dime and picks it up

Well, you can't go wrong with Brembo...but I was really really impressed with EBC's dimpled rotors and green stuff pads on my Ford Exploder. They worked really well in all conditions and if you goto EBC's website to find your part number http://ebcbrakes.iwebcat.com and then just google the part number I found online retailers that offered free shipping when I purchased mine. On the right hand side should be a vehicle lookup section.
