Those are good rotors and GREAT pads. But if your looking to upgrade your brakes I would recommend Hawk HPS compound for pads and as for the rotors, they are really unneccesary, unless your going for the look. I had those rotors on an old civic i used to own (before it got stolen) and they worked great, no warping and better braking. As for our scions with pads, lines and fluid you are GODD TO GO, believe me anybody that races their scion will tell you, rotors are unneccesary, unless your going for the racing look.
As for now im running with Agency Power SS Lines, EBC green stuff pads and Motul brake fluid and it stops better than my friends BMW M3, i can brake later and harder then he does, but of course when we are out of the corner, ADIOS, and the M3 is GONE!!! If you have any other questions feel free to ask, i enjoy answering these brake questions.

I can only speak from experience.....and I think the EBC "green stuff" sucks.
I had them on my car for about 6 months. They work fine. The car would stop.
The problem with them is that they dust way more than the stock pads even!! I faithfully wash my car once a week, and got tired of driving 3 days out of the week with darker wheels up front than in the back. Hawk pads are much better that way (then again so is stock).
As far as performance, I don't know. Mostly I'm just driving around town. I just want my car to stop and not look dirty doing it.
If you feel the need to truly unleash the awesome 1.5 liters of power that this car has, I still don't necessarily think performance pads are needed. If your at the track and need to go from 90 to 0 fast- sure get some performance pads. They just aren't the best for CLEAN daily driving around town. Just my opinion.
