It's a good price for a budget. But to be honest, brakes are one thing you should never skip over to save money. For a DD, OEM is best. The F/R pads have good initial bite and resist fading under most non-track conditions. They can be had for less than $90 shipped. With the remaining money I would have resurfaced the rotors (if only to get another few thousand miles out of them) and then replaced them with OEM blanks down the road. JMHO. \:\)

I know the op already bought the rotors and pads, but please be careful with those eBay rotors. They're not that quality and could crack/warp on you. Drilled rotors have no performance gains and only increases the chance of failure.

I personally like Autozone Duralast rotors. 2 year warranty against warpage or failure. Many track miles and no problems. OEM or Brembo blanks are good, too, but no warranty.
