Default Opinions on this rotor pad set for S-type R

Hi... I'm looking at a full kit from Brake Performance for my 2004 STR. It's a tick over 80K miles and has never had rotor replacement. I took it in for inspection last week and although it will pass, both the rotors and the pads themselves are getting rather close to minimum. I have an almost imperceptable wobble from the right rear rotor from time to time.
THinking it's about the time for a full four wheel set I came upon Brake Performance who is having a sale. I can get a nice set of rotors, cross drilled (with chamfers) and black zinc coating and a set of ceramic pads for 377.00 and free shipping. life time defects and 2 years against warps.

Cross-Drilled Brake Kits

Does anyone have experience with Brake Performance?

THis seems like a really decent deal to completly replaced rotors and pads all in one shot.
Cross drilling is mostly bling but I like it...

looks to be a great deal . i have no experience with these guys but it looks legit.
if they do stand by there product like that say that do , then this is good buying and seemingly with conference, they have a couple of youtube clips however that are very lame and cheep .
they may be a lot better at making brakes than youtube adds however , i sure hope so.

It's completely bling, nothing to do with performance. Forget paying extra for coatings and guarantees too.

$377. is OK, but is not better than most name brands.

I used crossed drilled brake performance discs up front on my 04 XJR along with akebono pads in 2013. So far so good no warping and silent braking.
