Default Everyone who has installed Aftermarket Rotors or Brake pads on GX - Please Input

Hey

i would appriciate if people who have installed aftermarket rotors n brakes could give thier input.
I need to get my brakes done and am leaning towards aftermarket brands like Brembo, EBC, Powerslot.... but not sure how they will work compared to factory... so before i shell out nearly 1000 on parts n labour i wanted some advice.
I have heard good things about Hawks Performance brake pads on a RX... but not too sure about GX...
pls share ur experience thanks.

I replaced all of my rotors with drilled and slotted rotors from iRotors. And I am using Axxis pads. I have about 10k miles on them sice I replaced them and am very happy. I have upgraded wheels and tires with a lot more grip than the stock tires and the brakes seem to be up to the challange. If had had the time and $ I migh upgrade to a Big Brake System, but I am actaully pretty happy with the rotors and pads.

Here are a couple of pics...keep in mind that these are 22" wheels and they really don't look this small in person.
