Default Source for rotors and Akebon pads?

Wheel bearings are done. Now I need a reasonably priced source for front rotors and pads. My car has the 323mm rotors and the Akebono 8 pad system.

This car has close to 200K and I don't want to spend big bucks. I did not cheap out on Chinese bearings and went with Timken. However, I don't want to spend top dollar for rotors and pads.

I have found Brembo and Zimmerman rotors at slightly better prices but does anyone make aftermarket pads for this?

I always go with Zimmerman rotors...excellent long term wear...never had any warping. I normal look for TRW pads.

I normally buy from either PartsGeek or AutohausAZ...both have excellent service, quick shipping and good prices. AutohausAZ sometimes has better prices and often free shipping, depending individual item and price.
