XLR8 Brake Package: Has anyone tried these out?
So my rotors are warped and I was looking into buying the package from XLR8 that comes with rotors and pads for $420.00. I dont want to invest the money if they will not provide better endurance than the stock ones. Any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm running them on my '09 sh-awd on front and rear, I'm using stock pads as I'm a believer in Honda pads since I've been with Honda since '96.
And they (rotors) are fantastic, no pulsation or noise, all around a great product.
I have only ever used Honda rotors on all my past cars and after using these ill continue to use them again.

I didn't know you can use stock pads with these rotors, I could be stupid for saying this but wouldn't there be an issue with the pads being eaten up to fast since the rotors are of a stronger compound? If that is not an issue I would probably do that as well, I like the feel of the stock package just would like to actually be able to push the car once in a while without feeling like me steering wheel is gonna fly off?

No, the pads used are a ceramic compound. We've had no issues with noise.
Yes you can. Of course a factory pad will yield factory performance. A more aggressive pad compound will improve braking but typically add more dust or noise.
