I was looking at getting these http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...oducts_id=1598

I read a bunch of the reviews and people really seem to like them for the most part, alot of people recommend using hawk ceramic pads, I dont know about the hps pads.

Hawk HPS and blank rotors. drilled/slotted do nothing for performance.

I picked up a set of slotted rotors/pads from brakemotive, I spent just under $200 bucks for everything. Just installed them with my BMR springs/KYB gas shocks and lovin it.

HPS offer better braking performance than the ceramics, but can dust a bit more.

As far as rotors, I had brembo blanks, but then RMA'd them as they were all coated with a burnt on plastic (as far as we could figure) crap that wouldn't come off. I won't be buying them again anytime soon. Instead, picked Napa Ultra Premium fronts and Duralast rears. The fronts are massive, the rears I don't think I can really warp much with the braking force of the rear rotors on a still fairly nice rotor.
