I bought rotors at Autozone a couple of years ago and they were in the $20 range. They looked just like the stock ones and have given me no trouble at all.

There's been extensive discussion on replacing the rear seal in the past (and I haven't done mine yet), so I won't get into that. But the quote I got from a shop was $450. The parts will only cost about $20 (seal and oil pan gasket).

I just dealt with the same issue. I replaced my pads and rotors a few months ago. The old pads had clips built onto the back of the pads that firmly attached them to the caliper. The new pads didn't have them and I didn't have the anti-rattle clips either. I went ahead and installed them...
