I just bought new brake discs for all four corners. They are made by Zimmermann, a pretty reputable aftermarket supplier. Cost was about half of the OEM.

Pros: reputable aftermarket supplier, cost effective
Vehicle: Audi A6

While I understand the need to be frugel, you're talking about the most important safety equipment on your car. IMO this is where you don't cheap out. I just bought a set of Zimmerman replacement rotors (fronts) and a set of PBR Deluxe pads for under $200. Like the old Fram advert said... 'you can pay me now, or pay me later'.

Pros: important safety equipment
Cons: don't cheap out

I already have the ATE Premium One rotors and Hawk pads on my 1982 Caddy. They don't have the initial bite but are good once they heat up, but still require adequate pedal pressure to ensure an emergency stop. The ATE Premium One rotors are great especially in the rain because they absolutely have that initial bite.

Pros: great in the rain
Cons: require adequate pedal pressure
Vehicle: Volkswagen Caddy

Hawk HPS with the rear pads almost worn & the front pads were about 70% worn---new rotors all around. Just for kicks, I decided to get ATE Slotted rotors, tyrol caliper bushings & a fresh fluid flush....

Pros: new rotors all around

I switched over to Zimmerman x-drilled, SS lines, Mintex Red Boxes and bled the system with DOT 4 fluid. The same corse I never noticed any fade but I also did not notice any BETTER braking performance either.

Pros: no fade
Cons: no better performance
Vehicle: Volkswagen
