It's important to make sure you get quality pads. There's not generally that much difference between name brand rotors, and the white box rotors imported from China.
I just bought 2 rotors for $40 each and could have saved $10 per side by going to NAPA but that would have been an extra drive I didn't have time for. Wound up buying a set of ProStop ceramic pads from Pep Boys for $55.00. The EBC Greenstuff was available for an extra $10 but would have taken 3 days to deliver. All told, I spent less than $145 on parts. The job took me a couple of hours.
The ProStop ceramics have a harder pedal than the stock organics, but I'm told they'll last longer and produce much less dust.
So far everything seems fine.
