brake replacement

so i need new rotors and pads for the back. i have expensive taste lol so i didn't want to go with the oem replacement, but instead go crossdrilled/slotted, meaning i'll have to replace all of them. i got the following from nopionline: (i'd link it but it wont let me...)

for pads, i'm going with axxis ultimate kevlar/ceramic ones. those alone are going to be like $100+


for rotors i was looking at these ones i've never heard of, by "#1 number one", which is going to set me back another $200+...



basically the point of this thread is to see if these are worth it or if there is something better for around the same price that you guys know of. i'd really appreciate any help given. thanks

I wouldn't put the axxis with some cheap rotors, because they will just eat through/fade.

he told me $320+50ship+3%pp for rotora combo rotors all around, which is looking like its my best bet. the $50 ship part is kinda annoying, but what can you do...

quick questions if anybody knows... "combo", meaning drilled+slotted, correct? can i also correctly assume these will fit with no modification? i'll eventually switch the calipers as well...
