front z32 brake rotors/pads

I have z32 front calipers. I have wagner pads on right now and they wore out in 30K miles and wasn't really impressed with them with exception of low dust. The rotors have been turned once so I think they need replacing especially since the pads are very low. Is only street driven. I was looking at tirerack and am curious about the Centric High Carbon Plain 125 Series Cryo-Treated Rotors for $88 each and the centric high carbon plain 125 non-cyro treated for $63. Would either of these last significantly longer than say the brembo blanks which they have for $57?

Then for pads I was looking at centric premium semi metallic $25.
centric premium ceramics $50
stoptech street performance for $56

Any actual experience??

thanks

yea, I was looking at the hawk hps but they were a lot more at $92. Is there somewhere I could get them cheaper than tirerack?

Running this and pleased with them.

I only dd(but is my work vehicle) my car and have had the pads on for 3+ years and i still have a lot of life left. Same with the rotors. They're not being eaten up and both were new when installed.

Pads: good bite, not loud and not dusty.

I've also heard good things about porterfield pads. Might give those a try once I need new pads.

92$ for pads isn't a lot. It might seem a lot when you're jumping from basic autozone/pepboys stuff but it's worth it for their performance/quality.

You got 30k from a set of pads and weren't impressed??? What are you expecting???

Don't get porterfields if you don't want dust. They're awesome pads but they dust quite a bit.

I found the brembos for $45 and the hawk hps's for $68 with free shipping but the part number for the pads are different than the one on tirerack. I went to the Hawk website and found two different sets of HPS pads so am not sure which one is right. I emailed hawk just now.

I was more disappointed with the wagner's performance compared to what I had before and the rears wore out more quickly than than the fronts only in two years. I didn't even expect it, next thing I know the pads were completely worn out and the rotors had to be replaced. I dont know what they put on before but I plan on doing the brakes myself this time.
