What kind of brake rotors and pads are cobra owners using

Just ordered Powerstop Z26 pads and will be running them on plain rotors (I think its cheaper to run cheap rotors and replace them often if they get warp on the track). Also changing the oil is not a matter of if but when, it really needs to be replaced.
Just ordered HAWK HPS 5.0 SECTOR 27 brake kit. ( http://www.hawkperformance.com/performance-street/bundles-kits/sector-27 )
Thought I would give it a try, see how it goes. Still on original pads/rotors, just looking for an acceptable street oriented set-up.
Paid $226.64 including shipping.
Anything crazy on front rotor/pad install to be concerned with?

If you've done front brake maintenance before, there is nothing new with this setup.
Here they are installed. Installation was pretty straightforward as explained. Braking performance is on par or better than stock, dont have a lot of time driving on them yet. 2nd pic is right after taking them out to "bed them in".
My only concern with this particular set-up is one of the drilled holes is outside the sweep area of the pads. By-product of an inferior kit? No biggie? Will run them for a bit and see if anything concerning pops up.
