Can't get brake pads

If you can get the OE calipers (and brackets and make sure they come from a 4.8i!!) you can use the rotors and pads I have (cheap!).

I'd go back to the OE setup if I were you ... keep it simple.

No I got the car off a dealer lot so no access to the previous owner.

I'd rather not go back to stock if I don't have to. Seems a little silly to downgrade from a big brake to a little brake. It's an option if I can't source the correct parts but no doubt the last option I would take.
