cheapest rear rotors?

I need to replace my back rotors and can't afford to go with ART or another high-performance disc. The way I see it, the front brakes get more of the weight and force, so it won't be so horrible to replace the back ones with less-than-incredible parts. What's the cheapest I could get away with paying for a set of rear rotors and pads?

Ooh, Ooh, I know this one. Pick me, Pick me!!

Nopi Rotors

Found those a couple months ago. With that price it's hard not to buy them.

I put Raybestos rotors on the rear a couple of years ago. They squeaked a lot, but I guess they've served me well...they were pretty cheap...

LOL

Whatever you do, don't go cheap enough to get pads that squeel. Before I bought my SVX the brakes were replaced and I don't know what kind they used. I'm guessing they were cheap but I'm not gueesing when I say they squeel like a cat in heat whenever I am stopping, especially at low speed. It's as embarrassing as hell and no amount of cheap can justify the annoyance they cause.

Just my 2 cents...

While we're at it - if we also can't afford ART rotors on the front, what's a reasonably-priced yet effective alternative?

I don't have a link for cheap front rotors, For some reason Nopi only sells rears for the SVX. If someone finds some, please post where you got them.
