Question Best place to get brakes?

Hi guys. My rotors are warped, pads are squeaking...I think it's time for some new brakes!

Where can I order some new brakes at a good price. I don't need them tomorrow, so online is acceptable too.

Also, I would like to get some decent ones as I tow a medium sized boat during the summers. What are your guys' opinions? I don't need high performance stuff, but don't want bargain bin either...

thanks DF! You guys always come through.

thanks, Eric. So i visited brakeperformance.com and they are running a "buy dimpled and slotted rotors get free semi-metallic pads free" deal. You can upgrade to the premium pads for $40. I think I'll just do that deal, it's cheaper than I had expected for such good brakes. Do you think it's worth it to upgrade to the "premium" pads for $40 extra or no?

THANKS AGAIN! I will order tomorrow once I get your advice :-)

The semi metallic pads are always free with the rotors. I went for the upgraded pads, not sure how much better they are, but there is no noise, dust is not a problem, and stopping is definitely improved over the stock setup.
