Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

Brembo blanks.
Slots don't do much but reduce the braking surface area.
Drill holes crack rotors.

Hawk pads are good
AEM too

Those with a slotted or blank rotor of choice. I have Pro Stops and love them (Slotted and dimpled)

Brembo blanks are vented rotors...great bang for $$$...axxis metalmaster for a good improvement over oem or axxis ultimate for the best street pads imho

Good enough to repeatedly go from 95 to 40 for 15 minutes straight and not overheat the brakes.
Axxis Ultimates are probably the best bang for buck pads you can buy, the trade off is that they make a dust storm.
The stock brakes are nothing short of pure ****. I cracked both my front rotors, I've driven harder on the brembos than I ever did on the stock ones and I've had no issues at all.
