Can you guys share your experience with rotor/pads sold at either store? Specifically for SUV application (Honda Pilot and such). It looks like cost wise ordering from RockAuto is no longer beneficial, and I was thinking of buying these items from my local store. Thanks y’all
AAP/AZ rotors and pads

Try NAPA. AAP, AZ, are okay if you buy brand names but their house brands are usually the cheapest Chinese junk and pads made in India.
The original rotors on my jeep warped @6k. Dealer turned them and they warped again 5 k later. I bought AutoZone gold pads and whatever rotors they had and those lasted till the jeep had 90k on it with no warping or shaking.

I was looking at them separate.
I've had much better luck with the AutoZone Duralast Gold/Duralast Max brake pads on our old 1999 Silverado and 2004 TrailBlazer than I did with Wagner ThermoQuiet pads. The ThermoQuiet pads wore out prematurely (under 30,000 miles) on both vehicles.
I can't say anything about rotors as I have not replaced any in many many years.

I've never seen cost-savings in the "bundles" that Rockauto puts together. I presumed they did those for beginners so they'd know what to purchase.
make sure to use the 5% (better than nothing) coupon code always available with Rock Auto too

Not a huge fan of auto zone ,but those Gold Rotors were Quality!
I bought the cheap Duralast pads for my Mazda at AAP and the guy said they have a lifetime warranty. I plan to find out if they actually honor it when I wear them out.
Autozone seems to honor this. I know a guy that didn't pay for new pads for years for his truck, though he was replacing them every 1-2 years. That's the downside of those lifetime warranty pads - they wear out quickly. Autozone knows that 95% of their customers will just pay for replacements vs keeping the receipt for the warranty.
I show $173.82 shipped for a set of Dynamic Friction 651259442.200$ for a set of centric rotors and Wagner pads on RA, same as 200$ for the set of car quest/duralast rotors/pads
AAP is $216.34 for two Carquest Platinum rotors and a set of Carquest Platinum Front Pads....after their 15% discount.
