Default What brakes to get for my 92 ls400?

My front brake pads and rotors both need to be replaced, what do u guys suggest i replace them with?

Are OEM lexus rotors or brembo rotors better? What about the X-drilled brembo rotors?
Also are EBC greenstuff pads worth the extra money or should i just stick with the OEM LEXUS pads?

Any suggestion is appreciated. THanks!

Stick with OEM rotors and brake pads unless you have upgraded brakes (calipers/rotors). Some of the members have experimented with different pads/rotors and didn't quite get the results they were expecting, such as squealing (Brembo rotors) and faster brake wear (EBC Green Stuff). Besides, you won't feel much of a difference with Brembo rotors (unless you upgrade to a big brake kit) since '90-'92s have horrible brakes to begin with....just go with OEM....can't go wrong with it.

i got the cross/drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads and it works great. I been using them for about 7 months and no signs of warping or anything.
