All OEM, but I might be looking at Brembo Blanks or slotted rotors with matching Brembo pads

Check the sig, chose to stay with stock rotors, because they were fine after they were machined. Chose the pads, because they would stop me a lot faster(Improved braking is always a good thing) and the dust they produced was not super nasty and tough to wash off. Also considered Hawk, EBC green and Porterfield R4S pads. Cost is always a consideration, but was secondary to performance.

$22 autozone rotors(duralast). cant beat the warranty, and i dont want to machine material off.
Cobalt Racing Brakes GT-Sport pads. better than everything else i have used(axxis, porterfield, hawk). they dust alot more than stock pads, but grab 10 billion times better and dont fade until you 6-7 60 mph panic stop.

Brembo slotted front rotors, blank rear rotors, PBR (Axxis) Ultimate pads. They bite hard and I love them.
