Brake pad upgrades for SC400?

I'm going to be upgrading my brakes in the next couple weeks. I'm getting some crossdrilled and slotted rotors and stainless steel brake lines. I don't want to use OEM pads. EBC only makes pads for the front. What kind of pads should I use?

Vegas, where are you getting your rotors from? Link if possible?

My current plan is to get rotors (drilled and slotted) that fit my stock calipers for now (since it will be awhile before I am able to upgrade my wheels to fit larger calipers). EBC greenstuff pads for the front. OEM for the back. And Goodridge stainless steel lines.

www.tirerack.com carries the EBC fronts, OEM rears, and the SS lines.

www.lexuspros.com carries the rotors

Any other vendor suggestions?

Any idea if those are the same as the ones on lexuspros.com? Could save $50 that way....
