Steering wheel shake at high speed braking. Apparently warped rotors. Best upgrade and brake pad combo to replace?

cross drilled rotors. OEM pads. OEM pads have virtually NO brake dust.

I agree with Marctronixx cross drilled and slotted rotors are the way to go. They will let the heat and Gass escape much quicker to help reduce warping. However I would suggest spending the extra money and buying better pads than going with OEM.
As for suggestions their are many different companies. Just beware their are some that use really cheap metal for the rotors. I know from experience, used to run them on my Jeep Grand Cherokee. PowerStop makes some good rotor and pad kits you can check out or you can check out different rotor and pad companies.

I went with Chrome Brakes with their rust inhibitor painted rotors and the pads they suggested that are Titanium Kevlar and ceramic.

Here is a shot with the stock wheel on after having spent 45 min seating the pads to the rotors.

Thanks for the response. Great pictures, nice setup. Thinking of R1 concept premier line.
