Napa rotors, pads + shocks

Hi

1. It's time for me to get new front rotors. DOn't want to spend a lot of money. I'm not racing. Just norma day-to-day driving. I found some rotors at NAPA for $27 a piece ( i think) can i use them? or are they total piece of s***?
i remember reading a while ago about someone using them without any problems.

2. I need new shocks also. Any places that sell them cheap? ;-) all the repairs will run me few G's so i'm trying to save some $$$....

Go to www.rockauto.com - they have Raybestos rotors for $12.27 and usually have the best prices on everything else. Shipping is cheap too. For me, to ship 32 lbs from Cali to Michigan they only charged me around $10 (rotors and pads).

Thats a good price. That's about what I paid for mine on ebay. Hp with stock springs are the bomb. Will really transform your max into what it should have been from the factory.

By best I mean spending less than 200 on brakes and rotors. All 4 sets. I would go higher if need be.
