I recommend the Brembo Blanks or Rotara with either Axxis Ultimate or Endless pads. Personally I have the Brembo Rotors and Axxis Ultimate pads. I have to say they are the best.

If you look at the axle boots, they should be intact, if they are greasy and are ripped, you will need to replace them asap, other wise it will eventually worn out your bearings.

It's pretty easy to inspect the axle boots. Like bitemeeh said, take a look at the rubber boots, and make sure they are not torn or anything. If you see grease all over the area, then it probably is torn and spitting out the grease everywhere.

If there is no grease around your boots and they are not ripped, then it must be your rotors or pads.

I can vouch for Cross/dimpled drilled from Irotors.com too! I had driven more than 65k miles and they are still running fine. If you are sick of warped rotors, go with aftermarket rotors and pads for sure. Here are some pics of my irotors.
