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
Vehicle: BMW

MEYLE Brake discs

I upgraded slightly by going with GLI brakes front and rear. Did basic Meyle rotors with Akebono ceramic pads. Couldn't be happier.

Pros: nice OEM option

I went with Zimmerman Rotors and EBC Red Stuff pads from NGP. Not slotted or drilled, just a quality German made rotor. The material quality difference is evident. My only complaint is the Red Stuff pads do make more brake dust, but its a pretty minor grievance. The rotors were also coated to prevent unsightly rusting.

Pros: quality German made rotor
Cons: more brake dust
