Brembo OEM replacements or Factory replacements?

I was gonna change my pads and rotors but don't know if I should go with factory or brembo replacements. I heard the brembo ones rust like crap, because there is no paint or protection on them, but the factory ones have paint on the hubs atleast. For pads I have ebc greenstuff, but rotors don't know. What whould you guys suggest? Didn't want to go slotted or drilled either b/c too $$$...

Slotted are not necessary but Rotora only offers slotted and drilled. I like the look.

I was going to suggest Stoptech. We have the BBK on our project car, but they dont have them for the 2nd Gen TL I love my Stoptechs

Those Rotora's look like a good deal.

Does anyone know the going rate for rotoras? Would there be any group buys going on? Also, i'm guessing no one is recommending the brembos or factory replacements.

One thing I was curious about those slotted rotors, are they able to be cut? Can anyone verify this?

Just a heads-up...I saw the powerslots on www.ajusa.com with the discount code for 6 bucks more than the rotoras if anybody was considering them as an alternate....I'm also in the market for new rotors and still researching.
