This thread isn't gonna end well... But I'll bite.
Pads- Nearly all brands made in china- so there is a cheap line and a decent line. AC Delco Professional. Hawk LTS. Raybestos Element. I've heard guys sprung on EBC but haven't ever tried 'em.. I'd steer clear of "Service Grade"- aim for "Premium"
For the rotors almost everyone makes a complimentary rotor. Everyone is going driller/slotted anymore. The debate is about the heat sink that is your rotor. little holes = air flow, but less material is BAD. Dimpled is okay, drilled = cracking. You want giant heavy rotor. I like solid. Whichever way you go, BE SURE TO HEED THE BRAKE-IN PERIOD. Brake-in, heh, Pun pretty much intended.
I'm going with the Raybestos R-300 series rotor squeezed on by Hawk LTS's
