Those aftermarket discs are also pretty expensive if you ask me. Over here you can get all four discs for 80 euro's relatively easy. Stay away from any kind of drilled/slotted discs. Drilled ones develop cracks sooner, and slotted ones will eat your pads a lot faster (they do have benefits for trackdriving though).
If you want some sportier characteristics dont go for stock pads, they suck (I'm using them at the moment...akebono pads). Lucas isnt all to hot either, but not bad for a stock pad.
You would be best off using a slightly more aggressive set of pads, say EBC greenstuff/Axxis/Porterfield/Mintex/Ferodo. Just make sure you get some that work good from cold, ferodo DS2500 take a bit of warming up for example before they work good. Mintex pads bite hard from cold and keep it up when they get hot too. The axxis (metalmasters?) pads are popular in the US, and pretty cheap.
