Ok the brembo blank fronts are $36.45 a piece and the rears are $41.45 a piece.

Depending on what pads you go with, but will most likely be around $50-$60 for each set.

So you're looking at about spending $270 give or take.

Did they squeek? I've heard they do. Also, another thing to look for is the operating temp on pads. Some pads work better once they have been heated up and stay heated. Such as in autocrossing. I have PBR/Axxis Metal Master pads on the front and the stock pads on the rear. I am using the stock rotors as well. And they bite down realy well. However, they do have a little more dust than I thought they would have.

My AEMs squeeked for the first coupld days or so but thats expected, other than that they didnt leave much brake dust and saved a dogs life once!

Hawk HPS is where it's at man... See if the site I showed you the Brembo blanks carries Hawk also.

I agree with hawk pads, but you probably only need them for your front rotors since they do most of the stopping. I'd stick with some life time warranty duralast pads on the rear. This is if you're just doing on road driving (no auto cross, road track, etc).
