Default what kind of brake rotors do I need?

It's that time of year for me to change my brake rotors/discs. I've change the pads on the car about 4 months ago, but my discs are really starting to squeal bad. I'm no mechanic, and I'm planning to take my car to a friend of mine who is a really great mechanic! Now, Rob, from Needwings had a good deal going on for a rotor and pad set. I really don't need the pads because the one I have on the car are the same. I narrowed my results down to 3 places near me that could have rotors in stock. Now they're are not the best, but they will do for now. Let me know if any are good, or bad, or recommend me any good one for my car too! As always guys, Thanks again!

Option 1: NAPA AUTO PARTS

Option 2: Buy Wearever Brake Rotor YH145494 at Advance Auto Parts

Option 3: Duralast/Brake Rotor - Front (34101) | 2005 Chrysler Crossfire 6 Cylinders L 3.2L SFI SOHC | AutoZone.com

I was of the mind that brake pads cause squeal not rotors. So I would look at the pad fitment first, use anti squeal grease on the back or insulators.

I would look for a set of drilled or slotted rotors, there are some good deals out there that will give you moderately better performance for little to no extra money

As has been mentioned the squeal is from the pad installation. As far as rotors, drilled or slotted or both, do not improve the brake performance, they just look cool. The stock rotors are high quality and unless they are deeply scored, are probably fine. I would remove and reinstall my pads using a high quality brake grease, making sure things are clean, use a wire brush to remove rust, etc before putting them back on. Save your money for some mods that will actually do something good for your car.

The rotors on these cars are very good quality. Unless they are scored really bad and just need turned, then I would say the pads are the problem. Put some nice ceramics on there. I doubt you need new rotors...
