I did them 6 months ago. I used import direct rotors from o Reilly. and some brake pads from NAPA I think I used Zimmerman brake pads. I have 0 problems with them and only need to do my rears in a couple of months according to the wear sensor.

Pros: zero problems, good performance
Vehicle: BMW

Zimmerman blank rotors are a good street replacement. No need to pay for drilled/slotted rotors. Personally I went with ceramic brake pads. They don’t bite quite as hard as metallic, but they still bite well, don’t make as much brake dust, and they don’t seize to my rotors after they get wet

Pros: good street replacement, less dust
Cons: less bite than metallic

Tesla Brake pads

The BIG difference is the brakes. In normal driving you're using one pedal driving, and this means two things. Firstly you're hardly ever using the actual brakes, almost all your braking in normal driving is through regen. Secondly because the regen braking is quite powerful, the actual physical brakes are relatively small. The brakes are great until they aren't, and they aren't great when you really need them.

Pros: great until normal driving
Cons: poor braking, heavy squidgy

Tesla Brake pads

I just had to do brakes and ball joints on my 2016 Model S (some rough roads, and calipers were seizing from winter corrosion, I live in the state of Maine, US). 100K miles, 160Kkm (160Mm?).

Pros: windshield spritzer
Cons: calipers were seizing
Mileage: 160000 km

I switched to the supposedly equivalent Zimmerman blanks and textar pads and I didn’t like the performance so I switched back to the stock brakes.

Cons: poor performance
