I used both before Zimmerman is good and cheap. Akebento are good too but hard to find and more expense. I practically used all brake pads and rotors over the 13 years I own the RRS. I would recommend using cermpads.
I go with Centric premium rotors and Stoptech pads and I like the setup, Centric makes the rotor blanks for Stoptech big brake kits, I got turned on to them when I had my E46 M3 and that was the recommended setup for daily/hpde/autox use.
Zimmerman rotors and Hawk HPS pads. Rotors are not drilled or slotted. The car stops on a dime and just saved me on the highway yesterday. This was the first modification I did and I'm glad I did it.
Zimmerman makes great rotors.
Had the same dilemma a few weeks back. Went with Zimmermann drilled rotors paired with EBC red. So far I've been pleased with them.
Brakes are doing great.
Centric blanks and pick a pad you like.
I run centric blanks on a focus st and even on track the rotors haven’t been the problem and focuses are extremely hard on the front brakes because of the ediff. Pads and fluid is where you want to spend your money upgrades on brakes
Zimmerman rotors (heavier then I would like)
It looks like you got the C-tek ones, which don't have any protective coating on the non-wear surfaces, which is why you see the rust.
