Need new pads and as such would need to resurface the rotors so I am thinking now might be a good time to spend a little extra and get performance stuff, whats some good proven stuff? I would prefer something that looks good too as well as working wink but that is mostly just an afterthought.

As far as pads go I would likely go with something like

Are the rotors on the 2g's same for front and back? Couldn't find a rear rotor option.

Not looking to spend a whole lot, close to oem replacement costs but if there is something for not TO much more its worth getting.

Rear rotors are much different. They house your e-brake shoe and drum.

Are 2g rears drum brakes? I know they are different then whats pictured I just wasn't sure why the option wasn't available, I also assumed it was 4 wheel disk because I am pretty sure I remember my 1g being 4 wheel disk.

They're disks with a drum e-brake.

Figured, so is there a particular reason they aren't listed on most sites along with front rotor?

Blank/regular rotors with Hawk pads, I'm happy with it so far, we'll see what it's like after I chuck the ABS out.
