Brembo blanks are all over the place, at least online. Tire Rack, iRotors, and NOPI all sell (or have sold) them.

As for pads, that's where a lot of variables come into play. Fade resistance, dusting, noise, rotor wear, cold effectiveness, and pad wear will vary from brand to brand and formula to formula.

Personally I went with Porterfield R4-S. They're quiet, they don't fade in anything I've thrown at them (said to be good for everything except open-track sessions over 15-20 minutes at a time), and only throw off a moderate amount of pale dust. I've only had them on since late July, so I can't comment on rotor wear or how they are in winter, but my research indicated they're good in those respects, too.

Hondaguy mentioned Stillen pads: I've read that they're rebadged Axxis Metal Masters, but I don't know for sure if that's true.
