I recently did my rear brakes; all new pads and rotors. I stuck with Oem brand parts; Zimmerman rotors (made in Germany), which were the same brand as the stock ones I took off, looked identical and stock VW pads TRW (Made in USA). Performance wise; I am sure, other pads probably would perform better with lower dust, etc. Mine lasted 16 years and I figured they worked ok, lasting a very long time and I knew the type of performance they were.

Pros: long lasting, known performance
Cons: other pads perform better
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Anyway 09 Tig SE and went with Zimmerman Rotors and brembo pads. Alls I have to say is a good choice. Not low end - not super deluxe - assume all Made in Europe. happy with the quality of hwy braking and that’s all that matters for me.

Pros: good choice, happy with quality

I went with Zimmerman z-coat rotors and Hawks Performance Ceramic pads when I had my E46. Great stopping power, and low brake dust. The bite was progressive, so it required a little more force on the brake pedal, but it was easy to modulate how much you wanted to brake.

Pros: great stopping power, low brake dust
Cons: progressive bite, more pedal force

Just put Centric rotors with RS-R pads on the front. Great combo, doing the rears when it warms up with the same combination.

Pros: great combination

Centric Brake discs

I upgraded my front rotors and pads when they needed to be replaced last year. He recommended solid (non drilled/non slotted) rotors to avoid cracking. My braking distance was *much* shorter after the swap.

Pros: shorter braking distance

I went with Centric/Stoptech blanks when I replaced the worn out rotors on my R32. They've been just fine. It was a swap to Hawk HPS pads that made a HUGE difference.

Pros: They've been just fine
