Where to find better brakes for our jags?

Boss I am using a slotted/dimpled rotor setup from e-bay with ceramic pads. I pad $200 for the entire setup. It is more responsive than the factory setup. Now I worry about planting the front bumper in the road when I hit the brakes. If there is something on the seat not belted in, it WILL!!! end up on the floor.
What part of NY are you in. Right now I am up in Pulaski NY (just north of Syracuse) doing some work and I might have some time to come over and help install the rotor/pad setup.

Better pads and discs is one way to go, many X-Typists have apparently been satisfied with EBC RedStuff pads (and some of the have also upgraded to EBC discs), so that's the next step for me.
Another, more significant improvement would be to fit the Ford Mondeo ST225 calipers, pads and discs.

These are the ones I bought. They go on very easily, and it's been almost 5 months and they are still looking like new.

I always liked Akebono Euro pads..here is an oulet for them..IMO, are the best Low dust and long lasting..I put 60,000 miles on a set on my X and they still had worn less than half....I coupled them with some EBC Sport rotors and the braking was better than factory.

I'm a good 250 miles from Syracuse.
I'll buy the pads and disks they look really nice and I trust your knowledge.
Thanks

I wouldn't expect anyone to do that for me. If it was something tougher I would drive to you. But I'm sure it'll take me just a couple of hours.
Is the name of the seller breakmotive, as mentioned by someone else, or is it a different seller?
A link would be nice if it's not too much trouble

I just installed EBC USR slotted rotors front and back along with EBC Red Stuff ceramic brake pads two weekends ago. Drastic improvement over stock! Highly recommend. I stayed away from "drilled" rotors as they can produce some break noise. Last two cars had drilled, one rotor cracked and they both made noise.
