Go with Wagner TQ pads and decent rotors and the problem should be resolved.
I second that and also go with the Wagner rotors too and so far I love it and they have been a lot better then OEM ones that I think were on my car before I put the premium ones on it.

Quite so. I bought Centric premiums from amazon for a 08 IS250, they sent me one China and one Taiwan. The Taiwan had thicker rotor faces similar to the picture below. I placed RMA request for both rotors, Amazon again sent me one China and one Taiwan (I spoke with customer service they said they couldn't guarantee what stock it's pulled from), I pick and choose and returned the China ones. Interestingly enough, the China ones I bought for my Mazda6 were both made in China but both had thick rotor faces; didn't get these from Amazon though.

I recently saw on a Maxima the outer face of the rotor was much thicker than the inner face. The air gap was as large as the premium one in the picture, but the inner face was as big as the cheap one.
