What do you guys think of this brake rotor/pad combonation?

I'm going with these Brembo rotors:

and these Brembo pads:
http://www.buybrakes.com/store/07.8300.20

Now I'm a bit of a n00b on the performance side of cars so, will I need anything else to put these brakes out or are they install and drive? Thanks in advance.

I think those pads need to get you dressed in the morning for that price. Why don't you get some cheaper ones that the other .org members recommend? I just got Raybestos Quietstop for mine(haven't put on yet), because of recommendation from .org members. I don't auto x though, and that might be the difference between the two of us.

Also, if you don't auto x or race and repeatedly slow from like 100 to 0, you would probably not need Brembo rotors that are slotted. I am currently running stock rotors(newly replaced, of course) with EBC Greenstuff pads, and there is plenty of stopping traction and no brake fade that I can see. Just letting you know.

www.rockauto.com is very cheap for them though. they are quick too. Mine came in like two days. I think shipping was like $9 or something. I just ordered a few other things(spark plugs, fuel filter...) to make the shipping worth while. They are good and recommended to me by other .org members. I just ordered some lug studs and lug nuts from them yesterday, and they shipped them out the same day. They should be here tomorrow or the next day.
