Brembo rotors should work just fine.

Brembo blanks will work fine with oem pads. I suggest going with hawk pads tho.

i had a brembo blank setup with Akebono SP ceramic pads. worked ok, very little dusting but not the stopping power i had imagined.

plus those brembos rust instantly after the first rain. i would either just get autozone generics ($12) or spend $80 each for zinc plated/slotted rotors.

brembo blanks are not worth it imo.

I use Brembo Blanks and KVR Pads ONLY. That is my combination until further notice. I'm on my second set now and I love them.

You can get the pads from Alamomotorssports.com

just paint the brembo blanks before you install them. it will help with the rust.

If you don't like the rust...remove the rotor and clean the hub area with a drill or diegrinder equipped with a wire brush. Remove as much rust as possible. Clean and dry, then apply rust inhibitor. This rust inhibitor will turn that rusted area black. You then simply wipe down with a damp cloth, either paint or leave it bare! It should take 4-5 yrs b4 you see any rust on those treated areas again!
