Gettin' new rotors/pads: what is the best place/brand/how to?

I need new rotors and pads. My original rotors have been turned already (which are now warped again in 10K miles ) and i will have to get new pads.

Where is the best place to get new rotors? AZ I dont want any of that slotted or drilled crap. I wont even consider, sorry .

And the pads are going to be street only: around town, highway, etc. so i need some good pads that will grab quick. My current pads are this local brake shop crap, and really suck. They also suck at toher things, that i wont go into.

and is there a how to? i have never done brakes before.

I bought some regular rotors from Autozone for the rear of my car due to all the good reviews i heard. They seem to be working great so far and i'm satisfied with them. They were $40 each i believe (maybe for both, not sure though) and perform awsome for the price. I got the raysbestos quiet stop pads on there as well and i'm very plased with everything. just my .2 c.

I got my front rotors and some carbon metalic pads from Autozone. They have been far superior to the stockers in both feel and fade resistance. And, they weren't really that expensive at all.
