Default 03 STR Brake Pads and Rotors

Looking for a good source to purchase high quality brake pads and rotors for my 03 STR that has 152K miles on it. I live in the US, hoping to find source in US with reasonable shipping/freight charges.

Sorry to go off topic, but I am curious how your car is holding up after all those miles? Any big repairs over normal maintenance such as your break rotor question?

Brakeperformance.com for rotors, got all 4 for about $300 shipped.

EBC red pads. I just got past the break-in on my EBC's, and proceeding to do a bed-in procedure soon.

So far, very impressed with quality, performance and value I've got from this combination.

Thanks for the replies.

My other significant repairs have been:
Replaced IP and associated electronics, due to intermittent short that would kick off a light show on my dashboard when I would flash my bright lights. And sometimes the car would not start.
Rebuilt the transmission about 8-9K miles ago. Don't think it was repaired correctly. The lurch problem is worse than before especially in Sport mode. It did resolve the transmission fault problem.
