IMO, just get a R1 concept kit from ebay for less than half the price

I'd go with R1, they are more reputable and $10 cheaper. Here is what you get:
Rears
Fronts
I've only had them for a week but I've had no trouble yet.

Yea I have these on my alero too. Real easy to install...Just take off the wheel, take off the brake caliper and there ya go. It may be a little bit more than that, but that is the jist of it. Shouldn't take longer than 30 minutes to do all 4, possibly an hour. It took me an hour because my lugnuts were rusty lol. Had a time getting those off without breaking the studs.
Good quality product!

Wouldn't the rotors for a grand am be fine for the alero? I only need front rotors cuz my rears are drums. I was looking on the r1 page and they don't sell the fronts alone for the alero, but do for the grand am. I also noticed that the front and rear sets for the grand am are 5 bucks cheaper. Would they still be the same?

Just make sure if you get the ones for the grand am that they are for the same year as you alero. IE: 99-04. I got ones for a grand am, because the ones for alero never had the pads in the package.
had them about 2 months now and so far so good.

I saw all that, but if the ones for the grand am work for the alero and are $5 cheaper, why go through all the trouble having to call them and all that? Thanks anyways.
And thanks Steve-o

Ordered a complete set (4 rotors) + semi-metalic pads from Ebay (R1) for a total of 240ish $ shipped. Not bad. I'll try to give reviews of them when they are actually installed on the car
