Put a coat of brake grease or anti seize between the ****ms and the 
caliper on the outside and the ****m and piston(s) on the inside.
A light coat is sufficient.

Brembo makes very good stock replacement rotors, price is in line with 
NAPA (and other) premium brands.

The new rotors need to be cleaned very carefully, after they are 
degreased, you need to wash them with hot soapy water and wipe dry with 
paper towel until the towel doesn't pick up any more metal dust.
This last part is very im****tant.

Once reassembled, bed in the new brakes as recommended by the brake pad 
manufacturer.
