Default Rotor and pad upgrades - suggestions

I need new rotors/pads, and was looking at the ECS drilled/slotted rotors, and debating between Mintex and Stop Hawk... All feedback greatly appreciated (stealership wanted $1K to do the job with OEM!!!)

another vote for the A8 upgrade. Relatively inexpensive upgrade.

Default I will be having a full set of A8 brakes...

Once I install the Porsche brakes sitting on the shelf in the garage. What would a complete A8 brake upgrade go for?

great condition.
