Pads and rotors take a lot of abuse. Their life is a finite number
If you intend to race, and dynamite the brakes at high speeds, then spend the money, and get the best. If racing is the game, then also upgrade the lines and fluid.
If you are just going to do some occasional mild performance driving, Then just get good quality rotors, and a good compatible dust free pad, and save $$$$$$$$
Just my opinion
