I use Zimmermans too & EBC red stuff pads much less dust then standard & nicer bite
Pros: less dust, nicer bite
Used Zimmerman rotors with Akebono pads
Pros: easy to use
Vehicle:

My '21 brakes started shaking around 20K miles as well. I installed Dynamic Friction coated rotors and ceramic pads from Rockauto. They have lasted longer than the stock OEM brakes with similar performance.
Pros: Longer lasting, similar performance
Cons: Shaking brakes
Vehicle:
Toyota Highlander
Mileage: 20000 km
We had the first instance of warped rotors at 15k and the dealer resurfaced them under warranty. Then at 25k it sounded like a NYC subway train pulling into the station at slow stops. Returned to the dealer to be told that they wouldn't work on the brakes again without us replacing the pads and rotors on our dime. I believe the rotors were getting glazed. Decided to go with the PowerStop drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads, replaced them at home and we've been very happy for another 10k. Improved brake performance and as quiet as can be.
Pros: Improved braking, quiet operation
Cons: Warped rotors, noisy brakes
Vehicle:
Toyota Highlander
Mileage: 25000 km
I absolutely love mine on my 2015. Normally an OEM guy on other Lexus/Toyota trucks but after not being satisfied and doing lots of research decided to give [these](https://a.co/d/1SkJLV5) a try. It’s been about 10k miles now and I’m very impressed. Would 100% recommend.
Edit: adding that not only is the brake performance excellent, the fact that they don’t rust is a huge plus!
Pros: excellent brake performance, don't rust
Mileage: 10000 km
I just fitted DBA rotors (slotted) with Akebono ceramic pads to my F22. DBA does a few different styles for different applications. If you're mainly streeting your car, you generally don't need drilled. Dust and noise is almost non existent with these pads, with a little more bite than OEM.
Pros: low dust, low noise, good bite
I did brembo rotors and akebono pads up front on my '12 a few weeks ago. Happy with them so far, saved me from hitting a deer a few days after getting them on. Still need to do the backs and probably change out the calipers at some point.
Pros: happy with them
Non-PP, Centric coated rotors front and rear, Endless MX-72 front and EBC Yellowstuff rear, with ATE Type 200 fluid. They are fine for street and autocross but would probably not be good enough for the track.
Pros: good for street and autocross
Cons: not good for track
I bought Brembo rotors from tirerack for my Toyota sienna. They warped shortly after.
Cons: rotors warped
Vehicle:
Toyota Sienna
