Ceramic Brake Rotors and Brake Pads

My vehicle 13 G37xS Coupe with the 19 inch rims

The time has come that I have to change my brake pads, I figured I'd change the rotors while I'm at it, I need to do this asap as my brakes are squeaking a lot now.
I need some recommendations, I've been reading up on ceramic brakes.

First I need to know that they will fit
Secondly I want to upgrade my brake system with ceramic brake pads and rotors
I am not very well informed with this stuff, feel free to recommend the products I can use, price is not too much of an issue, I really just want the best Overall performance!
Can someone let me know which would be best to purchase for my front and rear brakes

Ok cool, and are those ceramic? Or if not what material?
Do you have a link I wasn't able to find it
Also do you have experience with this product? Is it good?

I wouldn’t use carbon ceramic rotors unless you plan on tracking the car.

Not carbon ceramic, those are too expensive, Just ceramic brakes

I am running Z1 rotors with Centric Posi-Quiet and love the set up
Make sure if you're buying performance rotors, get the slotted only - Don't waste your money on the drilled and slotted as they will start cracking under heat overtime.

Maybe you had a better experience but drilled rotors cannot withstand repeated heat and cool cycles very well, and will fail sooner rather than later as a result. It is fine for you to use them if you are only street racing

I believe he specified track cars (i.e. not street racing). I have also had a similar experience with drilled rotors, no cracking even with repeated track use and daily driving race pads regular pads etc...I've never even used super high end ones just Centric Premium 1 piece rotors... no problems...there are lots that do crack but usually only the cheapest
