Brembo or Zimmerman Rotors are really good.
PBR pads are awsome. Mintex are pretty good.

If you use Non-OEM pads, be sure you use anti-squeal compound on the backs of the pads, shims, etc. I have used aftermarket pads on several cars and while they seem to work better tham OEM, they all tend to squeal.

I bought Brembo rotors and akebono pads from FCP with good results, although I hear NAPA has great deals on generic rotors. Rotors are just pieces of metal they are pretty much all the same IMO. Also I hear there are good deals on ebay for rotors on our cars, but they are normally sold front and back sets.
