Cheap ones used in a lot of shop lately for both rotors and pads are Bosch, and they hold up pretty well. I put a full set on my Suburban a couple years ago and have no complaints.

Pros: hold up pretty well
Vehicle: Chevrolet Suburban

Eurocarparts sell Bosch front brake discs for £70 each = £140 and £43 for front brake pads, they probably don't use ECP but many suppliers will be in the same ball park so does sound expensive but it depends on the brand they used.

Pros: null
Cons: sounds expensive
Vehicle: Mazda

Bosch Brake discs

Why after changing pads, greasing pins, new rotors, my brakes are still squeaking going through town and down the highway? The right side was noticeably more worn when I started the job, and that’s the one that’s squeaking. I put the new chrome inserts in the bracket too. OEM ac Delco pads and new Bosch quiet cast rotors. Used c clamp to push pistons back in. 2016 Yukon Denali

Cons: brakes still squeaking

OEM Volkswagen Brake discs

Not only does my '22 SE have the most atrocious grind and squeak all of you know, i have a nasty groove in one of them. I'm going to all new rotors and aftermarket pads when it comes time.

Pros: aftermarket pads planned
Cons: atrocious grind and squeak, nasty groove
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I’m running bosch quietcast pads/rotors all 4 corners, not a huge fan, probably wouldn’t do it again. They seem to “warp” easy getting some pulsating after only 15k on fronts and 5k on rears.

Cons: warp easy, pulsating
Mileage: 15000 km
