Default Brakes - My Potential Setup

So brakes are next on my list for autox upgrades. I've been going back and forth over this for a while now and read this and that and a ton of posts... here's what I'm thinking:

Front:
- Pads: Axxis Ultimate
- Rotors: Stoptech Slotted

Rear:
- Pads: Axxis Deluxe
- Rotors: Dezod Blanks

Would run about $410 shipped (dezod).

I thought about a full Stoptech Stage 2... but didn't feel like the ss lines and extra fluid were necessary at this point. I don't do any track days... I'm just looking for some more bite.

I went with different front and rear b/c most of the abuse is on the front. No point in spending an extra $100 on beefier pads/rotors for the rear when they won't see as much of a workout. And that setup should still be a little better than OEM. And besides, if I were going to spend the extra $, I'd just go with the Stage 2 kit.

So... what do you think? Any problems with this setup? Anything you'd absolutely change?

I'm open to ideas... but I'm not on an unlimited budget here... so a full BBK is out of the question. I want something simple but with more performance and stock size (to stay in the same autox class).

No one has any advice or thoughts yet?

Also looking at Brembo OEM blanks for front and rear. Would save a bit of $... and I'm not so sure slotted are necessary (don't care too much about the look).
