Default Brake pads and rotor

Hi People
I need your help. I need to replace my rotors and brake pads but don't want to spend a lot. I was looking at ebc yellow pads but I don't know what rotors you guys recommend. I do not track my car so I don't need any crazy high performance rotors or pads. Also, would the car feel different If I have different brand of rotors and brakes in the front and used oem setup in the rear?

Thanks guys

also, got my carbon fiber wing done at the shop. Love it.

Any good quality slotted rotor made for the RCF should be fine for you. As for brands, OEM or Centric. Don't get a rotor that's drilled. For pads for street driving, I like the Project Mu brand, either the NS or newer PS compound pads. Good Luck!

^^^^Boy your an inquisitive fellow - HaHa. The answer is yes, I did that when I had my ISF. I put Ferodo DS2500 in front with stock in the back. I later changed the rears to PM HC+800 pads.
