depends on how much $$$ you want to spend, oem or after market, do you like your current stopping power? if so just go with oem, (stock)
sky is the limit, you could spend $30K on brakes alone (Bentley)

Always get the best break pads money can buy. They are only marginally more expensive, and last so much longer. You will save money next time when you don't need rotors because you bought good pads.

If your rear rotors are just scratched, you could just have them turned, as long as they're NOT warped and the scratches aren't deep.

I used a company called Cquence for rotors (dimpled and slotted) when I did mine on my 04 GTP and I used EBC Red Stuff pads. All in all it was around $450 total.

I order a few days ago the "Power Slot Brake Rotor" all 4 of them.and the EBC Brake Pad Set - Front and back- Redstuff Low Dust Superstreet.i figure that the only thing that i have replaced on the car has been tires and air filter,so the car has been good to me so why not pay it back .thanks for the advice the EBC pads match the color on the calipers.
thanks again
