Rotors and Pads

I have a questions about Rotors and Pads. I am want to replace my stock rotors and pads with aftermarket ones. I am tired of having warpped rotors every 15k or so. I have 62k on the car now. I am not a harsh driver either. Honda\Acura just can't get this brake issue straight for me. I am thinking of going with either slotted or cross drilled ones. Can anyone please recommend any brands for both pads and rotors. I want something decent but not to pricey. I am willing to spend enough, but I am not up for the big brake kit upgrade. Also, I have 18in wheels I use in the warm months from end of April till early October. Also please keep mind with these wheels I have to use a 5mm spacer on the front wheels, so, I want make sure any rotors and pad comb will not affect my wheels clearing the front calipers. Thank you in advance.

Rotora slotted rotors will run you about $300
I am running Satisfied ceramic pads and they are great. Low dust and good grip.

how is the noise with these pads?
I'm having problems finding EBC Greenstuff, but if these things don't give a lot of noise, i'll go get them right now! lol.
Please respond soon!

From what ive read the satisfied doesnt have that issue as much as other pads. Im using OEM honda pads and have no noise. Use the CRC stuff and you wont have to worry about noise no matter what pad you use. The only exeption is if you use a semi metalic pad, you will hear grinding noise cause of metal to metal contact.
