Brake discs and pads recommendation?

After 55,000 miles (the last 13K of which involved a lot of vigorous driving), it will be time to replace my pads (not the first time of course) but also my discs on all four wheels, by the time I reach 60K (in 3-4 months)

While I drive 'sportily', I don't track the car and I am in truth easy on my brakes (I use the throttle a lot more than the brakes )

I can of course order OEM parts but I wanted some input from the forum on alternative recommendations, 'bang-for-the-buck' alternatives etc...

Thanks!

OEM is the way to go but go to pelican parts or somewhere selling cheaper than a stealership. no need to use anything else since you dont track. besides, any "savings" from shopping brands will amount to less than your time is worth in doing so - OEM's are already priced right and good quality as is.

Thank you for that. That gives me a decent idea of cost.
