Akebonos are good pads but the initial bite is alot less then semi metallic pads, had them on my audi.. Good super low dust pads though.

Best option if you want to keep better initial bite- itll be slightly less but its much smoother too - get axxiss deluxe pads, they are low dust and a good street pad, i have them on my front right now and will be replacing rears with them soon, cant stand pads that dust alot.

Rotors- zimmerman is a good brand ive ran them before on my audi as well- no issues and i got a killer deal on them that time too.

Ive retained my stock rotors for now since they were in great shape and not warped or anything and put the axxiss pads on and rebedded them.
