O'Reillys sells the Wagners, although from their webpage it looks like they don't stock them at the stores. Price is $54.99 for the semi-metallics.
Yelp I bought mine in the store maybe 2 weeks ago at O'Reillys. That price seem about right too.

So do you guys think the Wagners would make a good combo with powerslot rotors? Or are there other rotors that you guys would recomend. I want to cut down dust also, but stopping power is more important to me.

Wagners are very good pads. But my experience is with the stock rotors. They stop very well. I pull a 31ft travel trailer and have no problem slowing things down. I have also heard complaints about drilled and slotted rotors being nothing more than oversize cheese graters that tear up pads? But I have no experience with those myself.

Unless you are racing or doing some towing in the mountains, stock rotors are all you need. Your pads will last longer with the stock rotors. You especially don't want drilled unless you are racing, and you are on the brakes a lot at high speeds. You just do not build up the gases that need an escape route. .
