Default brake pads and rotors

Hey guys, do you have any suggestions for replacements pads and rotors. Dont want to upgrade calipers, so no BBK for me. Just standard replacements that can also handle some light track duty. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Edit: anyone know where i can get ds2500 ferodo pads? do they exist for our is350?

I was told that Brembo had both replacement rotors and pads. But then don't quote me on that.

I would stick with OEM rotors, but I think EBC makes some pads that would be okay for light track duty.

do you recommend changing to new pads with new rotors? i believe my current pads (tsib pads) still have a healthy amount left. i have one or two track days in the coming months. cant decide what to do...

I guess it would be "better" to have a totally different set of rotors and pads that you keep labelled as to how they are all mated together, but I've never done that. When I was doing a lot of track days and autocrosses, I would just swap the pads out at home before the event, and let them bed back in on the way to the event. I didn't even use any shims on them.
