Next time you need to replace pads and or rotors, (which will be 2-3 times as quickly because you got slotted and drilled rotors versus regular rotors) Go with a semi-metallic pad (Hawk's street pad, or metal masters) and use blank rotors. The slots and drilled holes do you no good, and reduce pad and rotor life by almost three times.
Best method for utilizing the stock brakes: Best pad you can afford, Cheapest rotor you can find, SS brakelines and good high temp fluid (look at the wet boiling pt when for a car that you don't replace the brake fluid very often).
The more often you change your brakefluid the better (to a point).

I Believe that the SVX was made too heavy for the brake system that it was given so the extra cooling/even wear that slotted or drilling offers helps reduce the chance of warping rotors, besides the fact that it reduces brake fading... Pads are cheaper that rotors...
