Call me a cold-hearted SOB, but its my personal opinion that the crossdrilled, slotted whatever whiz-bangs are a big waste of money on our cars. The 9k isn't really a "sports car" with a braking system engineered for screaming around, and the occasional track day. Leave that stuff for the Vettes. OEM replacement, off the shelf pads and rotors will provide more than adequate braking performance. For brand? I went with the absolutely cheapest pads and rotors I could from Autozone. That was almost 40k miles ago, they stop on a dime, and still have all kinds of life left.
Hope that wasn't too harsh......just being honest and helping you save $$.
