I’ve had Zimmerman rotors and hawk hps 5.0 pads for a few thousand km now. Feels pretty close to stock and my silver prets aren’t caked in dust anymore.
Pros: close to stock, less dust

Just replaced my 2018 SE brakes with the PP Zimmerman and Textar kit from FCP Euro. So far it's pretty much identical to stock. Pads will make the difference when it comes to dust. I do like the Zimmermann blanks, so nice to have non-rusty rotors again
Pros: identical to stock, non-rusty
I used DBA rotors, I swapped them into my 2014. (Got the entire working set for $900 lol)
Pros: affordable price
Installed the new DBA T3 Rotors, Project MU B force pads, Stop tech stainless steel brake line, Radium Master Cylinder brace, full fluid flush with Motul RBF 600 on the STI. wow……..

I put Brembo rotors and pads on my mk5. I like them. The coated rotors are great. No more rust on the non-friction surfaces.
Pros: great coated rotors, no rust
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I use Zimmerman blanks on my track car and have been doing so for years. They work great, will hold up for numerous weekends, and are fairly inexpensive (free replacements from FCP Euro is also a big bonus).
Pros: work great, fairly inexpensive

Before my StopTech BBK, I ran Centric high carbon blank rotors. They are affordable on Rock Auto, and lasted forever.
Pros: affordable, lasted forever
I use stop tech on all my cars, kind of spongy at the very top but other than that they bite hard.
Pros: bite hard
Cons: spongy at top
Just replaced front rotors and pads with Bosch semi-metallics. After initial “bedding in”, including some sharp braking from speed and emergency stops from various speeds, I went on a long trip. Straight away, I noticed that whenever I start to apply the front brakes after a sustained period of acceleration, there is a single knock/pop sound that comes from around the front left of the vehicle.
Pros: brakes seem to work well
Cons: single knock/pop sound
my brakes started to vibrate a bit when braking at or above 70mph, and it's only progressively gotten worse. From the first inspection (always at the same dealer I bought it from), I've asked the techs to double check the rotors, as it just didn't seem right to me, but they always brushed it off as normal and no big deal. I just took it in for an inspection (now at 22,700~ miles), and they tell me that yes, my rotors are warped, and that I'll need to replace the rotors and pads to alleviate the issue.
Pros: no issues with pads
Cons: rotors warped, vibration when braking
