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
Akebono ceramic pads with OEM or Zimmerman rotors is an OEM+ solution. They produce almost 0 brake dust and maintain OEM feel and performance.
Pros: Almost 0 brake dust, OEM feel

When I got car had drilled slotted rotors and brake performance was horrible. I’d suggest this kit to anyone and I have white rims also. At least one wash a week keeps brake dust at bay. Stopping performance for stock calipers and rotor size couldn’t be better.
Pros: great stopping performance
Cons: horrible brake performance
Whole setup feels really damn good.

They're quite a good combo. I glazed them doing too much drifting in the snow, but fixed with a bench grinder and they're as good as day 1.
Pros: good combo, as good as day 1
Cons: glazed easily

I just replaced my pads all around with Carbotech so i get majorly reduced brake dust and just OEM rotors.
Pros: Reduced brake dust
EBC red stuff pads work great. Better stopping power than stock, way less dust, but I've always swapped rotors and pads at the same time.
Pros: Better stopping power, less dust

I’ve been using EBC Yellowstuff on my mk7 gti for track days and daily driving. My first front set lasted 2.7 days (basically dissolving in my last run on one side). However, I’ve thought brake feel is good and I’ve now run a new set on new rotors for 4 track days. They look fine?
Pros: good brake feel
Cons: dissolved quickly

EBC yellow stuff are terrible for track use. Had a set disintegrate and nearly catch fire only like 12 mins into a session.
Cons: terrible, disintegrate
