This seems to be the place to get the C32 brake kit from.

Apparently, the rear brakes are not worth getting.

4 wheeled car.
My 4 corners are shot, both pads and rotors. How much were the front drilled rotors and pads each? I already got my rear stock rotors and pads brand new for $160 total and install is 40 bucks I think.

Hi, Steve,

I heard porterfieod are very good pad, and low dust.
Many people have installed C32 brake, and said fit without problem and stop faster.
However, I also heard they fit incorrectly.
Have you installed these style IV on your car, yet?

Take care,
Ben

Yet another update

OK, after over 4,000 miles on this set up, things are still good. No dust, no exterior rotor rust, super quick and sure stopping, no noise. Only negative thing I can say is after you wash the car, a bit of water gets trapped in the rotor holes. If you drive the car before the water evaporates, sometimes a brown water/rust mixture from inside the holes can be deposited on your clean wheels.
