I got w/ my f/r teg swap:

Brembo slotted rotors (cause they look cool h: )
Axxis Ultimate pads
OEM Fluid
Generic braided steel lines.

The pads are good, but not great. They are smooth and quiet (great drivability... might as well be factory) they clamp pretty hard, but dont' bite quite as hard as I'd like. Next time around I'll try Hawk HP+.

As for fluid, I've managed to cook my brakes a few times storming down my favorite mountain roads (and this is in my 2100 lb VX). I haven't gotten around to it yet, but OEM fluid just doesn't cut it for performance driving (it works OK for autocrosses just because you only use it for -60 sec at a time). Some quality DOT 4 or 5 fluid is a must if you ask a lot of your brakes.
