Default Brembos?

So I need new rotors nowish and pads. I havent changed ever and I've had the car for 4years. So I was wondering if anyone has used brembo blanks? I am also going to be using Hawk HPS pads

never used the blanks but I've installed two sets of Brembo big brake kits. One one a 00 Si and one on a 98 Eclipse Spyder GST.

PITA to install (mainly due to the four piston calipers) but deff worth the money! The brakes paid for themselves one time when I was driving the eclipse down a street at 25 - 30 mph and vehicle pulled right out in front of me and stopped. I slammed the brakes and stopped on a dime, could maybe fit a quarter in between front bumper and other vehicles passenger door. The eclipse has 20 inch wheels on it also so if it would of had stock brakes on it I would deff hit the other vehicle and destroyed the FMIC, Carbon Fiber hood and probably more.

I use brembo components on my bike, unquestionably the best, hands down. I upgraded to their Master Cylinder alone this spring, and my entire braking system was 65% better, with no pad or hose changes.

I have no doubt their car components are just as solid.
