Love the look of those rotors, too. Are there multiple options for pads that are relatively easy to find?
I think the following companies have pads that fit: SBS, Pagid, Hawk and Ferodo. There may be more. This info comes from the Alcon UK website.

I assume this is just for the front - Are they designed to be run with the OEM rears?

This is a question for anyone - what do you do about the brake pads, etc. when running a mixed setup?

Congrats, you will be happy with their performance. One thing though. If you don't like the "CLUNK" sound that you have when moving from forward to reverse, then contact Jared at STaSIS Engineering. He will get you a better fitting set of pads. They are SBS, just like the ones that come with the kit, but they are shaped differently and fit much tighter and therefore do not make the noise. Have fun at the track!

I had a ton of fun and was able to brake consistently lap after lap w/o fade. Wonderful. Any little noises are totally livable, and fine as a daily driver!

That's Cool. I'm glad you're satisfied. I absolutely love the look and the performance is like throwing an anchor out the window!
