What pads did you use?? Have always had good results with Raybestos semi metallic pads
May have to look to Summit Racing for Rotors.

The ones you see in the picture are Posi-Quiets semi-metallic pads. I wasn't that impressed with them. Plus they still produced a lot of break dust. So I switched them with NAPA Ceramics Gold series, big difference in stopping. They where a little hard on the rotors though and slightly warped them. I wound recommend the medium grade ceramic pads from napa. That's probably all you really need to do to see a difference in stopping. If you don't want to use ceramic pads go with Wagner or Hawks pads. I hear they are great and produce a lot less dust.

Ceramics are hard on the rotors for sure, the drilled and slotted rotors are good for faster heat dissipation, which is a good thing.. You're on the right track..
