Brake pads + rotors

Hey All,

Just had my car brought in for service for shaking when braking and found out I have toasted my rotors and brake pads. They are quoting me 700$ for replacment of both. Can I get them cheaper on my own? If so, where? I want to order, shaking is getting on my nerves.

Thanks,
Mike

I was just wondering if there are any aftermarket rotors/pads that are better, or if I should just stick with the stock rotors/pads and how much they cost (parts only). It's just rotors and pads, not a big deal to replace. I just didn't want to be raped by the MB dealer just to have them warp again in 20,000 miles..
