Brake Pad Replacement Question

I'm trying to replace my pads cause they're squeeling. But I've got a couple q's.

1. How do you get your rotors turned if you're doing the pads yourself? Is there a way other than putting the car completly on jacks and taking the rotors down to a shop in another car? Or is that how it's done?

2. How much are stock 2g awd rotors supposed to be? The only ones I could find are brembos for $58. But I always heard that you can go to autozone and get ones for like $20.

3. What about the rears? How do you know if they have to be replaced too? Just take the calipers off and check the material left? Or do the fronts, then check if there's still squeeling?

4. How much is it ussualy to get pads changed/rotors turned at a shop is you supply the pads?

5. Best pads for street/some heavy use, front and back? I was thinking Green Stuff for the front cause they're only $45, but what about rear? What is the cheepest and best rear pad?


Thx
