Just got off the phone with my Isuzu dealer regarding brakes - nothing was in stock and she would have to check the warehouse system to find stock rotors (not sure about pads), and they might even have to get shipped from Japan.
So... Check with Isuzu to see what parts you can actually get.

hmm I had no trouble getting my pads like 4-5 months ago. got a set of front and rear pads for about 90/pair had them in like 24 hrs

CALL MERLIN (with St. Charles Izusu)!!! I just ordered a set of front and rear brake pads from him, as well as some other stuff, and it all got here in under a week. Merlin's the man.

Today i drove by the mech,he suggest me the ceramic pads by wagner even tough the OEM are very good he said so while the rotors are on the way i'll keep searching for options;I willing to spend more then the average amount of $$$ for good brakepads

Then get OEMs...they cost more than many aftermarket pads.Today i drove by the mech,he suggest me the ceramic pads by wagner even tough the OEM are very good he said so while the rotors are on the way i'll keep searching for options;I willing to spend more then the average amount of $$$ for good brake
Of course the mech is going to recommend something he will mark up by about 100%.

Go OEM.
I have the high end EBC Green Stuff pads and though they stick like glue, there is still dust. The OEMs had virtually nil.

Well the mech don't sell parts or accesories he just suggest me few brands.Then get OEMs...they cost more than many aftermarket pads.

Is the only mech i trust,my entire family & friends also deals with him,nice guy,very honest.something very hard to find out there
I found a full set of brake pads by satisfied,high perfomance ceramics low dust along with the R1 concepts rotors every thing should be straight soon

last summer i replaced my brakes, pads and rotors, front and rear, with the R1 Concepts drilled and slotted rotors, and their corresponding pads. I am much happier with them then i was with the OEM brakes. the OEM brakes heated up and caused too much noise for me. Also i get very little dust from them. they are a little more than OEM but not much. definitly a good option.
