HHR SS Front Rotors warped. Need Help!

I have a 2009 HHR SS and my front rotors are warped. Big surprise there, huh?
I need to replace them. Mine is a non-Brembo and I am thinking about EBC reds Stage 4, but that is not set in stone. I wanting a brake kit for oem calipers with better rotors and pads. I keep finding multiple kits and not sure which one to get.
Where can I get the best price on a kit with the rotors and pads too? Recommendations and part numbers as well as the best site to get them from would be wonderful! Thanks.

Are you sure it's the rotors and not the LCA rear bushings or maybe ball joints or tie rod ends? I just fixed my brake judder, with new LCA bushings, I have the non Brembo SS rotors on my LS.

That is something I haven't thought about. I will look into it too. It started after a drive to the mountains of WV so I am thinking it is the rotors. I think they got very hot coming down those steep mountains.

But I will check that out. What do I need to do see if that is the problem?

Could be the rotors, mine was a shake issue after a drive in the Smokey's along thru to Gatlinberg and Pigeon Forge, I upgraded to the SS nonBrembos, still had the shake, so next was the LCA bushings problem solved, that was 4 years ago, the last 2 months the shake started up again, Monday I changed out the bushings to the Moog problem solvers, no more shake!

Found the bushings. I am going to check them too. They seem to be about $15 so that will be a cheap fix if I need them.
Now I just need to find a part number and best price for the rotors and pad kit. In other words, what is the front brake size so I can find the right kit?

This is what I am thinking of getting if they are the right ones that I need.
