Stock akebono pads are pretty good, rotors are not.

I have a ceramic pad, can't remember brand, grabs good but squeals with light breaking.

I got a deal on slotted Brembo rotors with Brembo pads. The brembo pads are great no noise, nice grip, and low dust compared to the EBC greenstuff I used to use.
