The stock rear rotors won't work. They is-f ones are bigger all around. I know this, cause I had to transfer over the isf rear dust sheild to fit the isf rotor.

I'm due for maintenance on my brakes, figured to ask what's the best site to order rotors from? I've seen peeps run stoptech rotors with akebono pads, wanted to run the same set up. Suggestions? Rockauto? Autoanything?

I bought power stop rotors and they came with pads the whole set was about 200-300$ So far so good, everything fits. They sort of mimic the OEM ones except the front is different with a circular vent around the center hub.
