Default 2005 A4 Avant 3.0 quattro- Hard time finding brakes

The tittle is pretty self explanatory. The car is a 2005 8E5 b6 Avant 3.0 quattro. I need to replace the pads and rotors but I keep getting alot of conflicting information on what works with this car. One place will say something fit's only for another to say it doesn't. It appears this year/model of car is a real odd ball when it comes to brakes.

I was hoping to get something better then stock, a ceramic brake and preferably a slotted(only) rotor. I'd come across these -

FRONT -
Amazon.com: R1 Concepts KES11177 Eline Series Slotted Rotors And Ceramic Pads Kit - Front: Automotive Amazon.com: R1 Concepts KES11177 Eline Series Slotted Rotors And Ceramic Pads Kit - Front: Automotive

REAR -
Amazon.com: R1 Concepts KES10359 Eline Series Slotted Rotors And Ceramic Pads Kit - Rear: Automotive Amazon.com: R1 Concepts KES10359 Eline Series Slotted Rotors And Ceramic Pads Kit - Rear: Automotive

And according to Amazon they fit, but from what I've found elsewhere the fronts might fit (no idea if it has the needed sensor or not) and the rear probably don't fit. And since they don't give dimensions I have no clue.

So... Anyone have any experience with this year of Avant that can point me in the direction of some performance pads + rotors? Preferably under $400 for the whole set-up.

I've been using Hudson Powerstop ceramic pads with good results, pretty affordable too.
