2007 Sport Front Rotors & Pads
Hello! First time poster, long time lurker.
I need your help with buying replacement rotors and pads for my 2007 sport front wheels.
A year ago I installed this package (Front Ceramic Performance Brake Pad & Rotor Kit TRQ Performance).
It is safe to say I regret my purchase because a year later they are beginning to grind, and I am afraid the pads are shredded or the rotors are warped, no idea.
It is time to buy new ones. I don't track the car. It's just a daily driver that receives some spirited driving every now and then around the city.
Best pads and rotors to buy to be reliable and stop me while I'm ahead?
Thank you!

What's your budget for the pad and rotor combo? How would you prioritize the three in the following criteria; stopping power, dust, noise?
From the little tidbit of info provided, it seems that for you a simple good quality blank rotor (like Centric or Raybestos) and a decent street pad (Centric, Raybestos, Stop Tech, Hawk, Power Stop, etc.) would fit your bill. Plus it'll be simple and off the shelf option for under 100 bucks prior to shipping and taxes.
You could step up to more premium pad materials and slotted/drilled/dimpled rotors as well but that of course is going to drive up price.
