Recommend me some rotors and pads please

According to my mechanic and the gaugecluster computer, I need a brake service due to wear.
Need new front rotors and new brake pads.

recommendations?

probably order some oem rotors, but I'm open to suggestions for pads, and I know there are alot of choices I have heard about for our application.

Thanks in advance.

OEM rotors for the 211 are good and cheap.
Last pads I used I went with the Poterfield ones. MUCH less dust than OEM and haven't noticed any squealing or degradation in braking efficiency.

Yeah, went ahead and ordered the OE rotors.
The pads are a toss up though.

Porterfield or akebono?
