Default Most reccommended rotors and brake pads?

What do most of you use/reccommend for rotors and brake pads on a Lexus IS 350? Mines is a 2009. Also is there a preferred site you guys use to order these parts from? Thanks.

I have had a lot of great things to say about Brakenetic Sport CD Gold Zinc Cross Drilled rotors coupled with Toyota Low Dust IS350 Pads "part number 04465-30450" Plenty of bite and look really good. I had almost the identical setup on my Acura TL-S and got 30k out of the pads. I'm running stock rotors with Brembo Pads in the rear but may change them over to the Toyota low dust also. Just make sure you install them correctly. There are internal air veins that should point to the back of the car regardless of the direction of the cross drilled holes.. The way they are installed in these pictures are backwards and I had to flip them after 10 miles of driving.
