Buy DBA rotors and Bendix GCT pads from any SuperAutoCo- they have a great service life, make minimal dust and won’t warp on you.

Pros: using DBA
Front rotors people usually get dba or ebc

For rotors, raybestos is a solid bang for your buck and I haven’t had any problems with them
Pros: solid bang for buck
Cons: no problems
OEM rotors rust like that in snowy areas, they look unevenly worn. If it gets a little worst you’re going to replace the pads and rotors. Ray bestos makes pads/rotors coated with zinc that won’t rust like the OEM ones.
Pros: zinc coated, won’t rust
Cons: unevenly worn, rust easily
Get Advics as they're closest to OEM money can buy, stay away from Raybestos i've had nothing but quality issues when I got those rotors.
Pros: closest to OEM
Cons: quality issues
