Haven't heard anything bad about the Power Stop rotors, but I would buy the fronts and rears separately to avoid issues on the rears.

Good advice then! Glad I didn't hit buy. I was going to pass on that kit anyway I've been reading that drilled/slotted for off-road use are a no-no because of debris getting caught in them.
I'm thinking of just doing:
FRONT:
5th Gen Centric Fronts
These
or
5th Gen
Raybestos 980784
or
RAYBESTOS 980784PER
REAR:
4th Gen Centric Rears CENTRIC 12044128
or
4th Gen Raybestos 96929 rears
Thoughts on those? Centrics come up a lot for a good OEM style replacement. I need something good though since I'm driving down long stretches of steep grades on mountain highways here.
As for pads, Akebono all around. Sounds like it doesn't matter if they're 4th or 5th gen pads then since they're the same size. Am I reading that right?
