Default Brakes and rotors

I know agrazela has found some bendix brakes and rotors on ebay. What i am wondering is if anyone has found any that would fit my brothers 2000 bonneville se. He is in the market for them and i dont want to have him spend the money at advanced if he can get them cheaper.

Looks good to me.

(Sucks that us 92-99 guys get ganked on rotor costs, because manufacturers know that they warp often.)
