Brake Pads and Rotors

I have been searching all night and have been reading a lot of old posts on pads and rotors. I went to porterfield's site but couldn't find front pads for the 2000 or 2001. Do the 99's work on our cars? I have a 2001 SE and I am about to need new pads, and probably rotors. I saw that Kevin had the Porterfields and they seem fine to me so that's what I'll get if I can. So anyways, question is: Where can I get the porterfields (if they make them) and which ones do I order if not 2001 specific? Any recommendations on rotors. Sorry for all the n00b questions but all the info I found was sort of

the pad dimensions/width is the same for the front and rear. the rotors are different, though. I've got Stillen sport rotors in stock and Axxis pads if you decide on something other than Porterfield. I don't carry Porterfield, but I can also get the Hawk or EBCs. Whatever floats your boat

I just noticed your rotors you've got on your site.. Are they better than the stock rotors? I've just warped my second set..

Thanks
