Default Rotors & Pads Kits

Anyone have any opinion on these? I know everybody on here recommends stoptech & akebono pads, but I'm on a budget and I absolutely have to replace my rotors ASAP.

2015 IS350 F-Sport

Front Rotor & Pads Kit: http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo....sn=463&jsn=463

Rear Rotor & Pads Kit: http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo....310024&jsn=459

Wonder if it'll look weird w/the fronts being slotted/drilled but rear rotors blank.. haha..

Or if anyone can find a good set of pads & rotors for under $400, I'm open to suggestions as well!

Thanks guys!

Powerstop pads are good. I've used them multiple times. The solid rotors are fine. The powerstop slotted/drilled rotors are horrible and warp easily. I had a set that only lasted 7k miles.

I've been eyeing these for when it comes time to replace mine.

Haven't looked into the rear as I don't expect them to wear out for quite some time.

This may seem really dumb but my music is always so loud that I never really heard the brake pad wear indicator squeals.. now the front pads are probably at 0% and have been digging into the rotors; you can visibly see the scratches (they seem pretty deep) on the rotors, it sounds like metal grinding on metal when i brake.. would the warranty do anything for me? I would think they would consider it as negligence? If I'm wrong, let me know..

Also, my car has 27k miles and driven for about a year (bought on 4/30/15). It's my first sports/luxury car or whatever, was used to brake pads lasting 30-40k miles..

The power of braking is achieved by aggressive pad compound that eat up rotors at a pretty aggressive rate.
