Stoptech SportStop Rotors + Street Performance Brake Pads are always a winning combo.
The brake sensor doesn't necessarily need to be replaced unless you trip the brake warning light on the dash, but it's a relatively cheap part so you might as well replace it.

Michael also sells R1 Concepts rotors as well. I bought a whole cross\drilled slotted with pads set from him. I'm happy with them. The dealer would sell you OEM pads which seem too dusty for me.

I got Zinc coated Zimmermann discs with EBC yellow stuff pads. Very happy with the looks and performance!
I also had my calipers stripped and professionaly sprayed red.

Joey:
If you have the loot go stoptech, If you have a lil loot find a 545/550/535's front brakes and do the swap or go big with M5's brake system!!!
If your on a budget Michael can get you going.
