I am looking to replace my front rotors but I would like to find replacements from a local automotive store. Can anybody here recommend what type and where?

Good luck finding them locally. Before you go replacing them see if they can be saved by taking a light cut. Get them to a brake shop and have them measured. Cheaper than replacing them.

Copied from a different thread:

New disk thickness 12.7mm, Minimum thickness 11.7mm. Max machine per side .5mm.

Am not recalling whether that 11.7mm limit is written on the rotors or not.

If the rotors are shot then get in touch with one of the vendors. Money well spent.

.

It is stamped on the rotors.

12.7mm = .500 inch. 11.7mm = .460 inch. for those using a non-metric micrometer.

PS - they are unique to the car, at least in the US.
