How to pick rotors?

Can anyone suggest a good pair of rear rotors? I do mostly daily driving but I don't mind upgrading the OEM rotors on my 2006 Civic EX...Also, do I need to specifically pair the pads with the rotors?

Re: How to pick rotors?

I have used ATE ceramic brake pads on 2 previous vehicles with excellent
results. on one vehicle I used the cheaper wagoner rotors in the front with the ceramic ATE pads and brakes felt excellent. on my other vehicle I just changed the

front pads and left the old rotors alone because they specd out ok there was still plenty of thick meat left on them. a little sanding & I was done.. ATE brake hardware (pads/rotors) should be plenty enough in my opinion for what your using your vehicle for. however if you feel its NOT & you need more stopping power AKIBONO performance brake Line up is what I would be looking at.
