Default Brake rotor BBrake pad vendors

Are there any brake vendors on here that are giving good prices on a full set of rotors and pads? I checked Brakemotives page in ebay and they have great prices compared to dealer. Anyone use any of thier drilled and slotted rotors? Mine (stock) are pulsing pretty badly now at 60,000 miles, and the dealer says it is the rear rotors. The dealer wants $500 just for the rear.....
So I am looking elsewhere first. Any advice?

I used the ebay drilled/slotted rotors on my 04, put 50k on them before sellling the truck, worked fine for me, looking at it again for my 09!

I was looking on autoanything.com at some rotor/pad kits and they seem to get good reviews. Im not sure if anyone has tried out any of the combo kits yet. I also am looking into all four corners within the next year. I have noticed some brake fade with the stock setup.

RAMULAK,
i`ve worked on several 3rd & 4th gen dodge truck brakes for others here at my place and we used BrakeMotives products... dam good **** for the money bro.
They also have excellent communication among their staff... if you have a problem, they`re on it like white on rice.

RAMULAK,
i`m curious about your brake shake/pulsation... (i dont trust dealerships)
do you see or feel the steering wheel shaking...? (if so, then the front rotors warped)
or do you just feel the shaking within the drivers seat...? (if so, then the rear rotors are warped)
If you get any shake in steering wheel AND the drivers seat, (w/brakes applied) then both front & rear rotors need to be replaced.

Thanks but no I already did the fronts. I used the Adaptive one pads. No shake in the wheel. Before I would get a pulsation coming off of high speed, such as exiting a highway at speed. (I don;t slow down much on off ramps until I hit the end....) But now even at lower speeds I get a really bad pulse. I feel it in the whole truck and I can hear the rear brakes now. The dealer said one pad was near metal. So Time to do the rears. I figure do rotors as well and hopefully get rid of the pulse.....I think i will order a set from Brakemotive tomorrow.

Yer on it bro, sounds like rear rotors went away on ya.
Feel confident with brakemotive, i use their ****, never ever had a problem.
Brakemotive is the best bang for the buck for sure...! Yes cheaper stuff out there, buts THATS exactly what you`ll get.
