My current brake pad and rotor are a centric blank and csg sprint C1s, and they’re great. Good bite, nice pedal modulation, great cold performance, and won’t overwhelm a daily grind tire. My previous were centric drilled rotors and pmu club racer pads. They were fucking amazing, but on a commute they were totally overkill (and fun) and I felt like they only made sense when I ran R comps. Otherwise it was ABS lights all day.

I've had good luck with either Centric GCX or Power stop Evolution Geo-met coated.
Centric GCX.
Centric (stock) rotors work great. I'm on ferodo ds2500 pads and love them
I've had great luck with Centric Premium coated (blank) rotors. I put them on everything.
I've always had good luck with the coated Centric rotors I've gotten from RA. No warping, good corrosion resistance.
I've done the Centric e-coat rotors and ceramic pads from Rock Auto on 4 of my vehicles over the years and have been very happy. Rotors don't turn into a ball of rust after getting wet once, let alone thru a salty Midwest winter. Pads seem to have good bite and consistent stopping power (1 set was on my old Mazda3) and no noise or dust.
Had great luck with the Centric Premium rotors and the Power Stop Z23 pads, which have good bite and no dust.
Centric makes ones that are painted black. I clean them up with brake cleaner and tape off the pad contact area, then use engine enamel spray paint to add an additional coat. I’m up in New England and one winter will do this to rotors. I do the same when I have to replace calipers. Lasts at least 3-4 years In my experience
