i need new pads and rotors
With cross-drilled and/or slotted rotors it's a one time run deal. Your suppose to replace them with new ones after the pads are worn out! Finding anyone who will turn a cross drilled rotor is very TOUGH. Most shops won't do it because when that bit hits those holes it rips the bit to shreds!!!
I've had Brembo cross-drills crack... it happens! Heat is a b*tch!!!

Unless you wear the pads down to the point wear they score the rotors, there shouldn't be any need to cut the rotors. If you drive and have a brain, you should know about when your pads are nearing the end of their life! Before you score the rotors, swap the pads. It's easy enough to do yourself and cheap enough to do before reaching the very end of the pad life.

Lemme find the link for LIL Devil motorsports....

I may have lied. I tried finding them for non Brembo but they aren't listed on their site. I am almost positive Brembo makes direct replacement rotors for non brembo, but you may have to ask the guy at LIL Devil or search the Brembo site. These guys were the cheapest around. Front rotors are 327 I think rears are 311 and they don't try to gouge you on shipping! They have 5 warehouses in the US so shipping should be a few days no matter where you are located!
Project Nissans website can be found here. The pads are listed for the Z but they are the same.

U mean that ugly green Project Mu uses? LOL Kinda, but it's an easy fix. Moreso on the back pads. I would just use some caliper paint on the painted part of teh pads if you don't like it that much. In time that backing plate will get dirty anyway so I just left it. The fronts are near impossible to see, but then again I haven't seen my G in a few days since the tranny is getting replaced..... I miss my G 
I must say that I really love this combo so far. The Project Mu pads give off way less dust. I recently drove back from Atlantic City (2.5Hr drive) and I would compare the amount of dust vs stock to be equal to what a quick 20-30 minute drive with the stock would be. In addition, the dust that is on the wheels is silverish not brown so it is barely noticeable! They have squeeked when cold (sitting overnight) for the first 2-3 stops, but after that they are quiet as stock!

From: on some Prius forum somewhere. Also getting 60mpg.
wheee! back from the work mines! I don't even remember who asked what, but my combo of the Project Mu rotors and Hawk APS Ferro Carbons is the best combo I have found by far. And the heat resistant paint worked very well on the rotor "hats"
