Stock rotors or brembo blanks and ceramic pads, try either Akebono or Hawk HPS pads. I'm actually using stock (aftermarket blanks) rotors and Ceramix brake pads. Quiet, low brake dust, and good stopping power, so far! Good luck!

BTW, Good choice on your color Max! It must look like mine!

a quick search would have answered this questions a million times over. But I'm bored at work so here:::
The best one is the first one started by irish44j to prevent this type of thread from being started.

READ and next time SEARCH.

used Hawk for a year now... good stopping power, but front rotor will be replaced soon.... always wraps...
already ordered Akebono ProACT for my mom's TL, expecting a good result too
