When I did this work on my '86 900S earlier this year I discovered that the Brembo rotors I ordered are now made in China! They seem to be OK so far, though.
You didn't say what year 900, if you're dealing with the older style calipers with parking brake on the front good rebuilt units are getting tough to find. My previous set was by Centric, they clunked badly from the beginning and only lasted a few years before one seized up.
I now have a set of A-1 Cardone calipers on the front and they're pretty good, though of course who knows how long they'll last. (My 900 was a test vehicle for A-1 Cardone years ago when they were developing rebuilding methods for these calipers, so I know they've at least put some effort into them.)
I've been using PBR brake pads and had no problems with them.
