I have the SP performance slotted and drilled rotors with the KVR semi metallic and carbon fiber mixed pads. There better than stock, low dust on wheels, pads are rotor friendly, slight "hum" every now and then under hard braking because of the slotting, but good stopping power. Virtually no fade. Best of all rotors have not "warped" like the stock ones do. These are also cheaper than the big brake kits. I paid about $300 for the rotors and pads. I had my rotors powder coated to keep them from rusting, you can also cadmium coat them as well. here are the links where I bought. the last link you can see the rotor on my car.

Front and rear slotted Brembo rotors and Axxis ultimate pads = $300. Might as well add some ss brake lines for another $80. The sell ATE super blue too. They will do your rotors any way you like but i wouldnt recomend drilled...my xdrilled stillen rotors were cracking after about 5k miles. I use RCs slotted rotors now.
