I heard those are good stuffs.
I'll suggest not using ur new rotor and pads at the same time...
its been said that you should use the old pad with the new rotor OR, the old rotor with the new pad.
its probably best to do the new pad with the old rotor and then when its worn in a bit, slap on the new rotor.

I agree with GREY - I installed them together and they seem to seat well with each other and work very well. I have not drained and re-filled the system with BLUE yet but I plan to - will probably do it with the new braided lines when I go that route. Factory fluid is fine for a good many miles and unless you enjoy bleeding the lines and have some help I don't think you'll see that much added value.
