About the Dezod Brake pads....
just want to say they are awesome! i expected nothing less from dezod.
the installation was a breeze (litterally took less then an hour for all 4 corners (8 pads for those who dont knwo theres 2 for each wheel... im sure theres someone out there
) the pads in conjunction to the new tires i got (225/45/17 Nitto NeoGEns) are amazing! i stop so easily and its a lot more predictable.
before when i had stock bridgestones (scary scary tires) and stock brakes (good but not dezod good ) i would have to ease on the brakes then slam on them if i felt the need to.
now i slam on the brakes cus its fun to know i can stop on a dime better then day 1
nah but seriously i know when ill stop a lot better now
now if only someone could point me in the direction to good slotted or drilled rotors....
coughpaulcough cough... damn

you don't need new rotors, get DOT4 fluid instead and full-bleed the system, you'll notice it a heck of a lot more.
Unless of course you just want that rotor look, then by all means, spend some cash on it, powerslot, ATE PremiumOne has some nifty looking rotors, stoptech has slotted or drilled (I'd stay away from drilled, prone to cracking)
but if you really have to get rotors, try your best to find slotted rotors where the slots don't continue to the edge of the rotor, more prone to crack. Also, any fancy coating they say they have on the rotors is just a marketing gimmick, it'll wear off the first time you press the brake pedal.
I still can't imagine the dezod pads being the bees knees, they look to be high initial bite street pads, and that usually just leads to faster wear and more dust, and their temp range seems pretty low to me for wanting a fast autocross capable pad, but glad you like em.

well from what ive seen from about a week with driving with them, is that they actually give off less dust then stock, which i love.
and thanks for the rotor advice, i do want to get them because i do show my car, and i like the way they look

Also, regarding our pad, it actually has a high heat range, which is about 50-70 degrees colder than the Hawk HP+ plus. So this pad would surely withstand an auto-x track day. We have tested these rotors on numerous cars under all types of conditions and have performed better than the competition.
yea i was gonna say this brakes are sick, i love the bite on them and i thought that they could handly auto-x... even tho i have never done it before, it defianly feels better braking and taking control of turns and stuff... but im a noob to brakes so yea.
