I too am very happy with the brakeperformace.com drilled and slotted rotors and EBC Greenstuff pads. They are working very well and no complaints.
Pros: working very well
Cons: hum under hard braking
That is not true. I have been running the StopTech BBK with 355x32 floating rotors (Z4M Coupe, 3275lbs + me) for over 2 years with 25+ track days on them and they have not warped.
Pros: not warped after years
Vehicle:
BMW
Update: I removed the link to brakeperformance.com, the cross drilled rotors they send me where causing "pad noise" caused by the slots cut all the way to the end of the disk ( bad design ) I end up installing rear OEM rotors..... problem solved.
Pros: problem solved
Cons: pad noise, bad design

I just bought new brake discs for all four corners. They are made by Zimmermann, a pretty reputable aftermarket supplier. Cost was about half of the OEM.
Pros: reputable aftermarket supplier, cost effective
Vehicle:
Audi A6
I can certainly feel the difference between my brothers Brembo with slottted setup vs my boring yet effective Honda oem stuff.
Pros: noticeable difference
Cons: expensive replacement
Vehicle:
Honda
ATE orbital slotted rotors are the best I've used so far for the price.
Pros: best for the price
having a vac at idle is NORMAL... its exactly how it was designed to be... vacuum is drawn on the head and block from the manifold via the PCV system... you test it by taking the pcv off and trying to force air through the valve. if it goes through, its busted... if it doesnt, then your fine.
Pros: normal vac at idle
Vehicle:
Audi A3
Ever notice how BMW does not use cross drilled rotors. I think Porshe is also open about the fact they only use them for the looks. HMMMM
Pros: BMW doesn't use drilled rotors
Cons: Porsche uses them for looks
I bought my Meyle rotors and installed them end of September last year, about 10-11 months ago. They are completely worn out already and need to be replaced.
Cons: completely worn out
