I purchased the ATL cross drilled rotors off of ebay for $179 shipped with their ceramic pads. I've heard complaints about the free ceramic pads that come with the rotors, especially how noisey they are. Right before installing mine, I purchased some premium Hawk Ceramics pads.They bite really well, and are quiet. I did follow the Beading process. However the Hawk pads do emit a lot of dust. But overall, I am happy with this setup.

These are ones I purchased. I see they went up 10 bucks. Maybe you can get them cheaper without the pads.

It has been a little more than a month for me with this setup. So far I am very happy with it.

I don't think it really matters where you get the pads. I went with the cheapest reseller on Ebay.

I have "eBay" Powerstop cross drilled/slotted rotors with pads on my 5.5 gen and love it. No problems there.

I also bought the same brand rotors/pads for my 4th gen but haven't had time to install them. They should perform just as well as the ones on my 5.5.

I also brought ebay d/s rotors and pad s off ebay. Only thing I did was bought better pads. I got about 20k on them and no issues.

FYI I did get the rotors turned before i installed them because they were not packed well and the boxes were all tore up.
