Default Brake rotors and pads

I'll need to replace the brake pads and rotors on my xj8 (not supercharged). Any recomendation on aftermarket kits?

If you are in the US, I suggest Akebono Euro ceramic pads and Brembo rotors. They are the best combination I have used on any street car. No dust and no pad deposition on the rotors causing the pulsing pedal so many call "warped rotors".

I live in Seattle. Any suggestions whre to buy these?

PS: the typo is intentional. I noticed the forum chokes on certain words (U-se, W-here, L-ike)

I would start with Bap/Geon, then Coventry West or Motorcars. LTD.
