If you need brakes contact greg at GSL rally sport, he will look after you.
I just got 4 slotted discs and pads off him for $408

Im really impressed so far, they are way better than the old brakes and haven't fully bedded in yet.
DBA street series slotted rotors were the best I could find available for my car and as my car is stuck in traffic and doesn't get its brakes hot enough I went with QFM HPX pads.

I was going to get RDA but the price quoted by GSL was so little extra to get the DBA discs.
As far as the pads go the QFM HPX pads are in a league above the Bendix pads I took off the car.

qfm, lucas, rda etc are all better than bendix.
you ain't gonna win any braking competitions on the rdas, but for a street car, they are fine.
qfm depending on which one you get are dusty as all hell, but brake very well.
lucas = dust + very good braking.

Just so you know the A1RM pads take a bit of warming up and when they are cold they wont be as good.
As far as Astinas go you can only get DBA street series rotors for them.
Im really happy with my new rotors and they look the goods too.
