I've dealt with Michael on several occasions and he's always been extremely helpful and thoroughly knowledgeable. Not to mention that his prices are the best 
Now, his sense of humor on the other hand...
j/k buddy - btw thanks again for all the help with brakes and Bilsteins (I'm still waiting for them to finally start offering those B8's in the USA, so keep me in mind if you hear anything about that, please).
Good Luck with the promo!

Unless you're going to be tracking the car I always recommend the Hawk HPS pad.
Front - $100
Rear - $75
It also includes brake sensors.

No track for me, just daily driving a lot too.......
What about rotor looking for slotted and calipers mainly looks but also performance. My rears need to be replaced soon so that is why i' m looking to change it all.

I recommend the R1Concept rotors.
R1Concept Eline D/S
Front - $185/pair
Rear - $175/pair
R1Concept Premium D/S
Front - $255/pair
Rear - $215/pair
Elines use the same casting grade as OEM rotors. The premium uses a higher cast grade so it's stronger. Both are coated with zinc on the hubs to prevent rust. The premium's hub is also coated with a black powdercoat.
Eline is good for most general uses but I would recommend premium if it's within budget.

Generally how often do the rotors need to be replaced?
