brakes advice

I'm going to buy new rotors and pads.
Was thinking of either Hawk HP Plus or EBC Red Stuff for front and EBC Green Stuff rear.
Because I live in Sweden, I have to buy the Hawk HP Plus from USA. The pads cost $64 and shipping $65.
In Sweden I can get the Red Stuff pads for $130.
So either way, I will have to pay the same amount of money.

What's your advice, go for the Red Stuff or the Hawk HP Plus? I will go for Brembo plain rotors. Will it be ok with better pads front (Red Stuff/Hawk HP Plus) than rear (Green Stuff)?

Where did you get those? How much that stuff run you?

Slotted and/or Drilled rotors?

i'm actually ready for new brakes now, and i checked the precisionbrakes website, but the kit they have on there costs like $1400 + $760 for 13" (does that even fit on stock wheels?)
is that the price i'm seriously looking at? i saw on corksport, they have everything except for calipers (of any kind). their whole setup seems around the $500 range...is it any good? and what calipers do i go with?
and does anyone know delivery time? i wanna get my brakes asap, before my wheels.....and if possible get suspension b4 ottawa
(i'm sorry, i have very little time for thorough research)

So has anyone got after market calipers or caliper/rotor combo's installed on an MX at a reasonable price? Can't see a caliper costing any than $200 or so.
