Help me decide please! (brake related)

I have 58k on my 2k se and it shakes when I brake more than a life long alcoholic with no hooch.
I've been doing my research and decided on some slotted only rotors with Axxis or Hawk pads and some SS lines.

I really only need front I think, but if I can get all I will. I have put feelers out to some vendors, and here are the prices I have received:

From AutoMAx in the GD forums:
4 brembo slotted, full set of pads and ss line $397.37

From iRotors:
" you want the rotors to be slotted only, they will take up to 7 business days to ship out as it is a special order. The price will remain at $119 plus shipping. We do not have Hawk Pads, but we do have Axxis Metal Master Pads which are comparable to the Hawk Pads. Front pads only are $48.99, and front/rear pads are $89.99."Shipping from the website is $20

and finally:

raceconcepts.net
$400.00 shipped for all 4 rotors, pads, ss lines. Brembo



Which ones do you guys recommend?

All those prices are good compared to mine. I also got all 4 brembos, Hawk HPS(front only), and all 4 SS lines for ~$600! I got the cross-drilled ones from Stillen so that could be the factor in price right there. Good luck.

slotted rotors will chew up your pads..you're better off getting some blanks...unless you race the car...or take it to the track

My problem is with brake fade. I was running with a M3 this morning (I know I know) and after several hard stops I didn't think the brakes were working anymore. What can we put on to eliminate the brake fade? Pads? Dimpled/Slotted rotors for gas release? SS lines? I need something cause anything has got t o be better than stock.
