Well I did a search and didn't come up with jack.

What does everyone think about summit rotors ?

Or should I just get napa ?

I was just gonna use Hawk HPS as pads.

Are you planning on doing any sort of track days or HPDE stuff?? If so, I would suggest that you stay away from the drilled rotors. Most low-priced drilled rotors have a tendency to crack around the holes with extreme braking effort.

But the Summit price seems to be a decent deal for street only use. Right now the NAPA link doesnt work (I get a "Server Is Too Busy!" page).

The Hawk HPS pad is a good choice for some heavy-duty braking but not really for track use. HPS pads will dust somewhat, so cleaning wheels (and those holes in the rotors) will be a bit extra work. They have excellent cold bite and work great for autocross.

The NAPA rotor then.
If you can wait a few days order them from rockauto.com and save a few bucks.

I know you want something that you can pick up. But

Kragen online has pads for $20 + shipping.

I have some of the summit rotors on my acura and am not really that impressed with the hardness. 8k miles and there is already scaring and that's with their ceramic pad. i normally love summit and do admit the price is good i keep meaning to ask www.88rotors.com if they have the brembo blanks, the last set of those i bought has lasted 2 sets of hawk pads and still look good.

I have the non-cryo Powerslot front rotors on the front of my '94 and local parts store cheap-o rears. Worked great for a year then I warped one - not sure which yet - but I think it is the front. It is not bad enough to replace yet. Using them with EBC greenstuff pads - and I think I wore those out already.
