I've already purchased all of my front end rebuild components, and the lowering kit. Next up will be the brakes, and I agree with buying quality stuff once instead of cheap stuff multiple times. What rotors do you use?
I use these guy's, 'E-Line'. Drilled & slotted.

They have a higher nickel content than OEM.
OEM & jobber rotors are all el-cheapo off-shore crap nowadays.
Don't really need the drilled versions for a daily.
Some say that a drilled rotor is prone to cracking around the holes, but I didn't find that.
...and that's after 5 years of 'me' driving. (!)
The slots are nice because they are the indicator of wear. They can be turned multiple times, but once the slots are gone, that's when the rotors need replacing.
They have drums with the same metallurgy.
I like the ceramic pads. Takes a block or 2 for them to get up to temp. The first couple of stops on a cold day, if you're not ready for it, can have ya sucking wind a bit. After that, way shorter stop distances than the stockers.
I probably took 10'-12' off of a 60mph panic stop with this combo, even before the NBS M/C swap.
The ceramics are also low-dust.
They have more aggressive pads too, if you like.
