I see you have 18" stock wheels. I do too. Assuming you're staying with them, I recommend the package deal that Maryland Speed offers on DBA direct replacement rotors and Hawk pads. That's what I'm saving up for because I'm not changing my wheels.

For Stock GT Brakes:
17D1351CH Pads, Ceramic, Front, AC Delco
12062113 Rotors, Premium, Front, Centric
17D1352CH Pads, Ceramic, Rear, AC Delco
12062114 Rotors, Premium, Rear, Centric
Ceramic DuraStop Brakes
New revolutionary brake friction material, consisting of ceramic and soft metal fibers
Extended brake pad and shoe life span
Drastically reduced braking noise, such as squealing and screeching
Smooth, dust-free and consistent stops, as well as rapid recovery
Ideal for more demanding applications
100 percent slotted, chamfered and shimmed for problem-free operation
Keep in mind that there are no government regulations covering replacement brake pads. Many are all hype with no certified testing.
I only buy pads certified to D3EA which stands for Dual Dynamometer Differential Effectiveness Analysis. This procedure tests front and rear friction materials together on dual dynamometers, then simulates vehicle weight and speed through a computer program to measure braking effectiveness and balance for different applications. D3EA was introduced in 1996. The D3EA tests are proprietary and more expensive, but they're also completely independent and tougher to pass.

Wow thanks for the tip!
Looks like Tire Rack has the rotors available but I noticed the part numbers are swapped from how you list them.

I just bought some Hawk ceramic pads. I'll let you guys know how they work on a straight stock setup with just swapping the pads.
