Where did you get that price?
I live in Ontario,Canada,and was quoted $235.oo each for Wagner front rotors for my 2000 xlt 2wd.

Whatever you do don't go cheap! I thought I'd get some low grade pads cause I was low on cash at the time and I wish I had waited.. Every time I hit the brakes they squeal and they never did with the old ones.. I'm thinking about ceramic pads... anybody use them before?
I just bought some

They are sitting on the kitchen counter, when I put them on I will give you an update.

Ceramics is all I use. Auto-zone's best usually. No noise-No dust

Finally got the Hawks put on....
Slight increase in braking performance, they don't "bite" when I tap the brakes but the pedal feels like it should now, less pressure to get stopped, more linear, and easier to modulate. I only have 40 miles on them and just cleaned my wheels tonight so I can't say about brake dust yet, I'll update when I get a few more miles on them.
