Rock auto is great for brakes.
the Centrics rotors are great too, I'd skip the power stops or any rotor without a coated hub unless you don't mind them looking rusted or want to coat them yourself you'll just be annoyed by how crappy they look
The Centric pads are good too if you aren't an aggressive braker and just use them for daily driving, they are quiet and don't dust a ton

Rockauto is a good part source for brakes (and most other parts). The Centric Premium rotors and Stoptech Street Pads would be my choice from what they offer, or if you want slotted rotors the Stoptech versions. Just be sure you get the proper diameter rotors (320mm front 307mm rear) as it can get confusing w/ the AWD models.
I'd run either of the WIX filters and get the XP if you run synthetic oil, Bosch are also decent.

Yeah I am just looking at Daily Driving for now, 20-30 KMs a day, maybe 12,000 KMs per year.

For a daily driver I'd run CENTRIC 90642001, I'm not sure of the Powerstop source for their parts or their overall quality, they may work well for you but not sure. The Centric premiums are a known product here for many members and have a solid history. And like I said above, if you want slotted rotors the Stoptech would be my choice there.

Oops thanks, didn't see this response. I will for sure get these then. Are the rotors rust proof as well do you know??

I'm reading that Centric is crap now and their parts are no longer made in USA, but made in China lol....... do you guys still recommend this then?? And how come no one here talks about Power Stop brand?? It seems to be loved by Rock Auto as well and they offer products in the Premium / Performance sections too..
