You can get by with a lot of cheap parts but brakes are NOT the place to economize. Cheap rotors will warp sooner and that means you replace them sooner as they don't have enough meat on them to be turned.
Call eEuroparts and get some Brembos--they run about $50 each and pads are $65/set for PBR ceramics. Then you're done for about $165. Shipping will be free. If you DIY, it's an easy job, maybe an hour and a half. Ask for directions on the job here.
Some people like cross-drilled Zimmermans, but they cost more, reduce the overall all braking surface and don't do anything positive for street driving. They also chew up pads faster.
