Brake pads Akebono or Ferodo
I like Wagner both rotor and pads but the hands down best pads are Acabono
akebono pads are oem. drive nice and quiet and strong. centrics rotors are decent.
I bought stock front rotors from a local dealer. Shopped around to find a dealer with the lowest price (low $90/ea range as I recall). I purchased Akebono Performance ceramic pads on Amazon: They are showing as “currently unavailable.” Maybe you can find them somewhere else. Brake pulsing is now gone, car stops very well, and I have less brake dust than with stock pads.
Ferodo DS2500 paired with Zimmerman blank rotors and Motul RBF600 is what I use. The tracks I go to are more technical and not fast so it's great for my use case. I imagine if I went to a track where speeds are above 150Km/H and have long, fast corners, I would need better pads. I'm considered intermediate to advanced and last ran a 1:47 at CTMP DDT with worn Vitour Tempesta Enzo tires. I think I can run low 40s this year. I would not track with stock pads. I overheated my pads and brake fade hit hard. The pads melted and I went off the track and almost over the hill at TMP (Cayuga).

Right now I’m looking at getting the Akebono Proact pads. Fairly confident the pads are good cuz that’s the OEM brand to my understanding
I used DS2500 for my first 2 track days but outgrew them rather quickly on a 2800 lb car. Last time I swapped to DS1.11 and felt much more confident braking deeper into corners with zero fade at my intermediate level. Now I just use DS2500 for the street and canyons.
Akebono Ceramic pads and EBC rotors (slotted if you're feelin frisky). EBC pads are fine too, but a lot of people experience noise. Akebono pads are just super solid and problem free.
Go for Akebono Euro spec. I got Akebono for a BMW and it was brilliant, the Akebono ceramic for Genesis was trash.
My rear pads cracked after 3 months, 4k km of use.
