Help!

My brakes on my 1965 122s have gone from annoying to the "I really dont feel safe driving this car right now!" stage.

I took my car into a shop that was reccomended to me for a car of my type, and they diagnosed the problem to me as having a bad caliper and having non repairable rotors. They said they found a caliper fairly easily and inexpensively, but the only source they had for the rotors was extremely expensive. Im not very enthused with this shop; Ive had business with them before, they were very expensive and I wasnt impressed with their service, so I think Im just going to pay them off for the inspection and have a friend of mine install the caliper and rotors. I was quoted at almost 1200 dollars from this shop for all the work, and as Ive just gotten laid off from work, that wont fly right now.

I found a caliper on kragen's website for 95 dollars. I can totally deal with that. Unfortunately, I cant find rotors anywhere. Can anyone reccomend a website or other source?
