Need New Brakes... Help me choose

OK so now that my right rotor has hot spots and is a sexy glazed blue i think its time for new brakes...

yeah the fluid is amazing. it's blue so it's much easier to tell when the old fluid is out. and with ate super blue racing brake fluid, you don't have to change it so frequently as with other racing fluids.
