Default Noob Questions for Rotors and pads?

I need to switch out my rotors and pads now

I have the oem brake system

Which company rotor and pads are above average to replace?

Maybe a site to order those pads and rotors or go to a place to get it purchased and installed?
im at 213/323 area

There's no good reason to drill holes in your car rotors (and some good reasons not to)

Slotted there's only a good reason to do if the car will be used on a race track.


For street use blank rotors are the best option. OEM is fine of course... Centric premium rotors will do the same job and be a bit cheaper.


Likewise for pads there's no good reason not to use the OEM (low-dust) ones unless using the car on a track.
