If you buy from them ask them for their "Japanese brand > Brembo"

They'll tell you straight out, BREMBO ROTORS ARE CRAP.

They make GOOD CALIPERS, not rotors
The stock pads are actually carbon metallic. As far as Ceramics go for street application, there are many good brands out there. Check out tirerack.com (one of our vendors) to get learn more about brake pads & rotors that suit your driving style.

I put the Akebono ceramic pads on matched with the Rotora rotors 700 miles ago and they are so smooth and quiet. Good braking so far.
