What I've discovered is that the design of the OEM rotors are BMW 2-piece brake rotors with iron friction ring with a lightweight aluminum rotor hat. This design , to me, has flaws and is prone to excessive heat and warps rather quickly. I've had the same problem repeatedly. I switched to Zimmerman one-piece cast iron rotors with OEM pads, and I've driven very hard, and it hasn't happened ever again.

Pros: drove very hard, hasn't happened
Cons: prone to excessive heat
Vehicle: BMW

I've tried 3 brands of rotors just in one year of ownership in my e46. Do Zimmerman. They were my third brand I did. Other 2 warped so damn fast

Pros: rotors did not warp
Cons: other warped fast
Vehicle: BMW

Zimmerman rotors are pretty much the item of choice as far as I know, and I’ve always sworn by Hawk HPS pads if you’re street driving.

Pros: item of choice

Brembo Brake discs

I really hate to say this but you paid way too much for those front brake discs. But I don't understand why these pins were so stuck, mine were rusted just like yours but a couple of bangs with a hammer and steel pin and they just flew out.

Pros: easy to remove
Cons: rusted, stuck pins
Vehicle: Audi A4
