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.
ATE orbital slotted rotors are the best I've used so far for the price.
While I understand the need to be frugel, you're talking about the most important safety equipment on your car. IMO this is where you don't cheap out. I just bought a set of Zimmerman replacement rotors (fronts) and a set of PBR Deluxe pads for under $200. Like the old Fram advert said... 'you can pay me now, or pay me later'.
Zimmerman front rotors with ebc pads. Stainless braided brake lines on all four corners and ate super blue brake fluid.
get aome ATE powerslot rotors, and some hawk hp or HPS or HP+ pads, which ever u think will work...and you'll have stopping power..big time.
Btw I'm throwing in : 4 16x7 et45 Genuine Votex wheels 4 205/55/16 Kumho HP4 716 All Season Tires (Great for Winter Setup) Votex replica sideskirts Lots of Misc parts like resurfaced Audi A8 Zimmermann rotors, Front PBR deluxe pads, etc...
I already have the ATE Premium One rotors and Hawk pads on my 1982 Caddy. They don't have the initial bite but are good once they heat up, but still require adequate pedal pressure to ensure an emergency stop. The ATE Premium One rotors are great especially in the rain because they absolutely have that initial bite.
Look for some brembo or ATE rotors from an OE supplier
Hawk HPS with the rear pads almost worn & the front pads were about 70% worn---new rotors all around. Just for kicks, I decided to get ATE Slotted rotors, tyrol caliper bushings & a fresh fluid flush....
I switched over to Zimmerman x-drilled, SS lines, Mintex Red Boxes and bled the system with DOT 4 fluid. The same corse I never noticed any fade but I also did not notice any BETTER braking performance either.
