Why do they say to only replace Rotors in pairs? What happens if you only replace one?

No real idea, but I do replace them in pairs... Most of the time if the rotors are warped then I replace them... If you turn them and get them good and hot again they will warp again...
For the pads I use Wagner Mid grade pads on everything I work on.. If OE is ceramic then it gets ceramic...
On my own cars I have been using Bendix titanium metallic pads and have had very good luck with them... I don'k bendix calls them Titanium Metallic anymore.. These were on my 91, they are on my 95 Van and my 95 Bonneville... I have had them on the Bonneville for almost 5 years... Still a lot of meat left and the brakes show no signs of fade even after 400 miles straight on the interstate... Like stated tho they do dust more then other including ceramics, but stopping performance is great...
On your car I would get a decent set of pads... Bendix or Wagner at the least...
