Default Ready for new brakes!

I am wanting to run Brembo blanks and either Hawk HPS or stock pads. I have been looking for Brembo blanks, and am having a really hard time finding them. I have seen them for the WRX, but not the outback. I do have an aggressive driving style, so I am wanting something with bite. My wife has turned OEM rotors with OEM pads on her 05 Legacy 2.5i wagon and her brakes are much grabbier than my 05 XT. Can anyone help me out with this? Any other suggestions on pad and rotor setups?

I know you can get Brembo blanks from Tirerack.com

That being said the Brembo/HPS combo is a popular one.

I looked on Tire Rack for you, and although they usually do carry the Brembo rotors you're looking for, they don't seem to list any when you put in your car. The Hawk HPS pads are definitely a great choice, and seem to be the preferred brand. Performance pads from Akebono are also very good, but if you don't mind spending the extra money, the Hawks seem to be worth it. The Centric premium rotors on Tire Rack get great reviews and are a popular rotor choice for HPS pads.

I tried TireRack already, that was the first place that I looked, and just like RyanS93 says, there are no listing for the Brembo blanks. I was hoping that Tirerack had them because I have a gift card there! Anywhere else I can find blanks?
