I'd recommend Hawk HPS-series brake pads. You're going to chew through pads with those rotors, unfortunately.

I went with AEM pads and I have slooted and cross-drilled rotors. My pads actually lasted way longer than my oem. Just my experience.

I would imagine they're a decent product, given their reputation (that and the fact that I own some Tanabe product). But as far as brake pads go, I've never used or even seen them, so I cannot give a decent evaluation.

Those rotors are going to do nothing for you but look pretty and eat pads.

If you can get PBR (Axxis) Ultimates, go with those. You should be able to get those, they're Austrailian.

you should still be able to find a website that carries the hawk pads that will ship to your country... those would be my #1 choice... i would also recommend Mintex Red Box pads if they are made for your application... just stay away from EBC green stuff.. they tend to eat up rotors pretty badly...
