Hi there,
I used Brembo rotors and PBR Deluxe pads, all from Europarts. Did the work myself, fairly easy on a 9000, and spent not much over $125.00 or so. The only problems you may run into are stuck torx screw that holds the rotor to the hub (drill it out) and pushing the piston back into the caliper so the new pads will fit (a C clamp or some big channel lock pliers work). I am quite happy with the results.
BTW I only replaced the front rotors, not the rears, but did the pads all around and then flushed the brake fluid. Don't forget antisqueal on the back of the outboard pads.
Hope this helps,
Derek
