I know I could do the rebuild but I may go the PMB route if I can just have stuff show up ready to be installed and I can spend an afternoon knocking it all out at once.

Tim,
Just an idea, since you're replacing the rotors with new, how about you buy the bigger Carrera rotors (20mm vs 24mm) and use Carrera calipers. A much more robust brake system for not much more cost. For a start, I have a set of Carrera front calipers that only have 20K miles on them (with a boxed rebuild kit) that I'll give you and then you'll just need to source a rear Carrera caliper set which you could find on the forum. They all use the same pads. The bigger rotors are what you need for less fade due to better thermal dissipation.
