I emailed stoptech and they forwarded my email to these guys, here is the response:
"Payam,
We've been the world's #1 retailer of StopTech for 5 consecutive years and have worked closely with them on new product development, testing, and documentation.
The 332mm kit came as a 2-piece floating rotor with aluminum center section. To replace the outer cast iron ring ("friction ring"), you'll need a left and right AeroRotor from here: http://store.zeckhausen.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=24_212_509
The caliper is the StopTech ST-40 and a wide rang of pads are available. The kit came with Axxis ULT pads, but recently StopTech has switched to their own StopTech Street Performance pads. These are the same performance as Axxis ULT with slightly less dust, less noise, and a wider temperature range. you can find these and other pads for your calipers here: http://store.zeckhausen.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=24_411
If you have any other questions, feel free to call or email.

Brake Pad Installation Procedure:
Install brake pads properly. Be sure pads are securely positioned in the caliper.
Flush system with fresh brake fluid.
Check all hydraulic parts for excess wear and tear.
Check disc for proper thickness, parallelism, and lateral runout.
Check disc for scoring or grooves over .012”depth. If either applies, resurfacing is required.
If discs do not need resurfacing, then contamination from the previous brake pads must be removed. Sand discs with 130 grit sandpaper using moderate pressure. Use soap and water to clean discs’ surface after sanding and machining. Discs should be free and clear of oil, grease, and brake fluid.
Inspect calipers for freedom of movement. Lubricate where necessary.
Burnishing Instructions:
After installing new brake pads, make 6 to 10 stops from approximately 30-35 mph applying moderate pressure.
Make an additional 2 to 3 hard stops from approximately 40 to 45 mph.
DO NOT DRAG BRAKES!
Allow 15 minutes for brake system to cool down.
After step 4 your new pads are ready for use.
Quote from G:
"The StopTech and TRD brakes come with the AXIS Ultimate brake pads. These pads are really AWESOME and have excellent brake performance. The down side is that they dust the wheels like spray paint.
I tried the AXXIS Delux pads. Very little to no dust but a significant reduction in brake performance.
The ones I just put in are the AXXIS ULT pads. They are a ceramic pad. The braking performance is not as good at the Ultimate pad, but much better than the Delux pad. Running them almost a week now and the dust is seems to be the same as the Delux pad.
So far so good. I think it is a good alternative to the super dusting Ultimate pad.
