U can get the Eline series from R1Concepts I think for about $200 (no pads). There is also another one on eaby (top_brakes-net) from long beach a set for $199 with pads. They are OE specs then drilled/slotted. I think thats good enough for your application.
I went and bought R1 Concepts premium line tho and cost me $350 (no pads). Oh, and thats with LS400 front rotors.

Thanks guys, Everybody says R1 Concept stuff off Ebay are cheap and will crack? My main thing is I dont want to spend an arm and leg for a car that is already old (92')
My MAIN THING is I want BLACK centers on the Rotors, does anybpdy have links to the items you listed?

The Eline is the cheap stuff. Premium line they have is better quality. Best for the $$$ would be blanks then off Autozone, Kragen or pep boys. They are about $30 each I think... Or if your rotors still looks good, you can have them resurfaced. I know Kragen charge $15 each rotor to be turned.

You said u didn't want to spend that much for a 92. You should get a local store brand. They are good enough since you didn't want to spend that much. Pads ranges from $20+ and they offer lifetime warranty.
