Stock brake rotors, nowhere?

Stock brake rotors, nowhere?
Ok, no autopart stores in my entire town carry generic front rotors for my 2k2. The dealership wants $95 each, which is outrageous. I don't want aftermarket, and I'm certainly not paying $95 each for stock ones. So what now? Is DAVEB my only savior? (BTW what's his number?) I don't feel like having to pay shipping on heavy @ss rotors.
As an aside, pep boys tells me they have to order a rotor/hub assembly, while the dealership tells me all I need is a rotor. What the hell is the problem here?

2) No, the rotor and hub are not an 'assembly' anyway. Pep boys are high on somethin'. You will not need to replace hubs for a loooong time, i haven't yet!

I agree with KC, go aftermarket. You can buy blanks, no holes or slots. Nissan is known for having bad breaks and break problems. BTW, why are you replacing the rotors, the 2002 should have more than enough meat on them to turn down a glazing problem unless you warped them. If you warped them, go aftermarket. Curious, if your under warranty you should try to talk the dealer into fixing them. Chris

I would have to agree with going aftermarket too. However, you can get OEM rotors for $61.43 from here:

Well I've had the rotors surfaced 2x so I don't imagine surfacing them again will do any good, and they are probably too thin to do it again. I'm at 50,000 miles so warranty is out.
I got some reybestos QS pads and maybe I'll look aftermarket for the rotors. Where can I get some aftermarket blanks for not too much coin?

I'd try the Group Buy section, they usually have something there. Also, do a Google search they may pop up there. I'm just thinking, I can usually get parts at wholesale from my dealer, well most parts. I can check to get a price and let you know if you like. Chris
