most car parts places still aren't carrying rotors for 3rd gens yet...so the dealer would be the best place to get the rotors...pads you can get at any auto parts store

I do my work myself, too

. I bought Axxis Ultimate pads for my P5 and they didn't fit right. The wear idicator grinded a slot into my rotors on the first day. I ended up going to the dealer for pads, and the OEM ones include all the brackets and hardware plus the pads bite just as hard as the Axxis did.

OEM + best for Protege brake pads, IMO
