I buy Centric from Rock Auto. Then I have my local shop install them. Labor is $165 for an "axle" (so $330 front and back) and rotors/pads cost me about $125 a pair or $250 for all four.
I did centric rotors and akebono pads up front. Works fine.
I'm using the raybestos AT rotors on mine, along with some Hawk HPS pads, both bought from Rockauto. No complaints.
If you aren't going to track or AX the car, just get Centric blank rotors and OE pads.
I did the $520 option. Easy to use, a nice surprise to see you picked those Vs something generic.
I go with Centric premium rotors and Stoptech pads and I like the setup, Centric makes the rotor blanks for Stoptech big brake kits, I got turned on to them when I had my E46 M3 and that was the recommended setup for daily/hpde/autox use.
Centric blanks and pick a pad you like.
I run centric blanks on a focus st and even on track the rotors haven’t been the problem and focuses are extremely hard on the front brakes because of the ediff. Pads and fluid is where you want to spend your money upgrades on brakes
Look at raybestos R300 rotors. I use them on my wrx. They’re slotted with squiggles so they look cool, while not being drilled so they won’t crack. They also are apparently have higher carbon content so they Lee supposed to be able to handle heat better. They’re reasonably priced available on rock out and stuff. Then I use hawk HPs. A Good set of Pads will make a much bigger impact for you
I have run Centric, Raybestos and Wagner, maybe the Wagner have lasted slightly longer
