Brembo is ALWAYS a good name. They make really good stuff. Those rotors you linked to aren't cross-drilled or slotted...you thought about that yet?
AEM brake pads I've heard are good. Little to no noticable brake dust. If you have rims I'd spring for them...otherwise I wouldn't worry about that TOO much.

remember that all rotors need to be machiened before installing.
becareful buying rotors that have been drilled and slotted. some vendors buy brembo blanks and do the drilling in house. those homemade drilled rotors can snap in half.
my suggestion ...
aem pads = :bigok: ... oem pads are really expensive @ $68 a set
bembo rotors = :bigok: ... if you have the $$$ that is. if you don't, just get the non drilled and slotted brembos

i know the blanks aren't cross drilled or slotted...and that brembo doesn't make both cross drilled and slotted...but since i don't really think i need that much more stopping power...and because the price is close to OEM dealership rotors...i figured i'd check the blanks...but can blanks be used w/o cross drilling or slotting?...like are blanks just like any other rotors?...and what's that about machining?...i thought u machine rotors when they're warped so u can get a lil more life outta them...so why would u machine new ones?...sry for a lot of noob questions...but i really appreciate ur answers...thx
