I replaced the front rotors and pads myself at 35K miles. I used EBC Ultimax slotted rotors and Hawk Performance Ceramic pads. I've been happy with them, though I will be switching to a different pad next time.

The Hawk PC pads dust quite a bit and can't handle the heavy Z near as well as my old 6MT Accord. I'm torn between trying the Centric Posi Quiet pads for low dust and price, or something more performance oriented that will give more bite at a higher cost and with more dust.

2-piece rotors are an excellent option but probably overkill for pure street driving.
