Default 2006 GS300 AWD Rotors and Pads

I'm thinking of replacing my pads and rotors from BrakePerformance.com anyone have any thoughts and/or opinions?
I read that someone on here had them replaced on their GS350 and seem quite happy with them (can't remember the thread or person).

Alternatively, I could go with the HAWK pads and Power Slot rotors that are available as the group by...

Thanks!

By the way, I am thinking of going with the Premium Dimpled and Slotted Brake Rotors and the Premium Ceramic Pads - any thoughts on either are greatly appreciated

I just ordered a set of EBC slotted for my AWD, as for the pads i just got stock pads from the dealer. I don't do too much racing so that's good enough for me, but i do get mad props on the upgrade...

Did the rotors end up fitting the front and rear? I assume you replaced all 4?

There are few to none that make aftermarket rotors for an awd front application. I had oem brake pads too dusty, got me a set from tirerack akebono brake pads ( i would say they are the best pads i had, no dust, quite,more braking power then oem), and now i have the ebc red stuff brake pads. I would not suggest the ebc brake pads they suck, i am actually thinkin about taking them off and going with the akebonos again. I am running slotted and cross drilled rotora from brakeworld.com. They had to be special ordered which ran me $425 if i remember correctly. I noticed autoanything have ebc rotors drilled or dipled for an awd but i am not sure if they will fit.
