Are these pads and rotors OK to buy?
My brake pads and rotors seem to still have a lot of thickness to them, but my steering wheel is shaking when I brake and so the rotors are probably warped. It seems like if I replace the rotors I should go ahead and replace the pads, so I'm in the market for new rotors and new pads. I would prefer to buy these from AAP (since I have a $50 coupon there 
), and found these on the website:
Rotor: http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_Brake-Rotor---Front-Wearever_3569322-P_221_R|GRPDRUMAMS_____
Pads option #1: http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_Brake-Pads---Front-Wearever-Silver_5752116-P_219_R|GRPBRCOAMS_____
Pads option #2: http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_ThermoQuiet&174;-Brake-Pads---Front-Wagner_20450295-P_219_R|GRPBRCOAMS_____
Does that rotor look OK? It's pretty much the only rotor on the AAP website that has reviews for it. As far as the pads go, both of those pads seem to have really good reviews; do you think one would be better than the other? Or, is none of this stuff acceptable, and do I need to go OEM?
Thanks for your advice!

Personally, I would opt for the Stoptech replacement package from Dezod. It's $109 with free shipping, great quality rotors and pads for not much more than the what you're looking at from AAP.

I know you have the coupon for AAP, but you could always put that towards your next oil change.

i got the duralast gold ceramic pads on my car and they are great i have only been able to get fade once with them even then they would still lock all 4 tires up and that was after 7 attemps from 80-0 one after another after a few weeks of driving with them on the car some of u would probably not like how hard i tested them but i wanted to find the limit of these pads so i know how hard i can push them like if i take another trip to talimena where i got a ton af fade frome my stock oem pads
