Question Front brake pad/rotor recommendations please

Driving my 2000 Avalon this weekend I can feel the front rotors pulsating when I hit the brakes. I may check to see if they can be turned but I’m thinking about replacing the rotors and the awful dust generating pads that are on the car. I’m not sure what is on the car right now, but I doubt it is factory original. I bought it in March at 94K and have 111K on it now. Any recommendations out there? What should I avoid? I’m looking for good stops and less dust for a reasonable price.

Akebono pads and Brembo rotors have given me the best service on my '02.
Hawk HPS pads give more stopping power, with more $.

Cool

Recently installed Akebono pads and Brembo rotors on my 01 works like a charm. you can get them for a good price at www.tirerack.com or me from rotors and all four pads cost about $200.
make a note though the rotors will rust so it is best to paint them, you can use any high temperature paint form any parts shop should be like $5 to $10

Thanks
