I sell a lot of rotors and brake pads on this forum. Here is the typical setup that people get:

R1Concept Rotors Drilled and Slotted
Front - $160/pair
Rear - $125/pair

Brake Sensors - $20/ea (You'll Need 2)

Hawk HPS Brake Pads
Front - $100
Rear - $75

or

StopTech Street Pad
Front - $90
Rear - $50

More expensive than eBay but this has been a trusted setup on this forum.

You'll also get support from someone who has ran this exact same setup on his own car, something eBay cannot give you.

Brakes are not a good part to skimp on.

Just me, but when it comes to safety equipment (like brakes) I don't necessarily go for the cheapest I can find. It can literally mean the difference between life and death. I'd go with a trusted vendor, even if is costs me a few bucks more.

I agree that you should not compromise your safety over price. I've heard stories with knock off brands. I am apprehensive with too good to be true pricing, especially with drilled rotors.
