Default Any brake recommendations?

Hey guys I will be replacing my OEM pads/rotors in the next few weeks or so, I was looking into the Dezod "economy" package, includes 4 oe replacement rotors, and my choice of 3 pads, (i would probably get the stoptech ones) does anyone have any experience with this package? anyone have any other recommendations? The front pads were replaced by me w/ TRD pads at around 30k miles and the rears have not yet been done, the car now has close to 68k miles, and i want to replace both rotors and pads front and back. I am willing to piece a package together also.
thanks.

dezod does have some nice stuff.

i've always liked porterfield's r4-s brake pad, it's a really nice carbon/kevlar pad. not cheap, but I feel it's worth the money $90 front, $80 rear. http://www.porterfield-brakes.com/

for rotors, i've always liked brembo's oem replacement rotors at tirerack.com but dezod has some really nice oem replacements too from what I've heard.

We have sold plenty of these setups. I am sure some of our customers will chime in here on it.

I also had this eco setup on my wife's tC with the Premium pads and it worked well. Nice OEM replacement that did not break the bank for sure.

If you are concerned about the pad choice, simply go to the Ceramics and/or the StopTech street pads. Plenty of people have rocked the street pads on track days....They have an excellent bite, minimal fade and offer minimal dust too!

Spend the 500 bucks and get the Stoptech Stage 1 Brake Kit.

OEM-sized slotted roters, Steel braided brake lines, Motul Brake Fluid, Hawk pads.

Love my setup.
