While I won't disagree that the stock parts are great. I did buy Hawk HPS pads and they have been great to me thus far. No complaints. I did it mostly for the rears and just did the fronts while I was at it.

Stock or Centric High Carbon rotors.

Stock or Hawk HPS (Or EBC)pads. If you bitch about how your brakes suck when they are cold more than you brag about how good they are when they are warm get the Hawks/EBC, otherwise go stock.

I don't mean to be argumentative but EBC pads for this car are terrible based on some experiences of friends and Internet stories.

If you never plan to drive the car competitively then I understand the Hawk pads are okay for daily driving.

EBCs are also good as DD pad, they are cheaper and they dont dust a lot. They arent on the same level performance wise though, thats why I made my little thing abouthow you feel about your brakes.

Stock rotors and pads are the best. The sound and dust is annoying, but what can you do for performance. If you're only gonna DD without any track days, the Hawk hps are good with R1 concept rotors from what I've heard. I just don't have the ***** to get after market **** anymore as i track my car harder and harder each time. Totally notice a difference between stock pads and hawks now, no comparison.

Hawk HPS are good. Dont get drilled, go for slottted if you really want to. Slotted R1 concept rotors. Google it and you'll find it. Best way is to call them though.
