I use Zimmerman coated rotors are most everything in our shop and they work great.
Got quoted 3k CAD for pads/rotors, bought Zimmerman drilled and brembo ceramics for 1500 and did them myself. Took 4 hrs taking my time, very simple job if you have the means to do it yourself
Personally, I like to use ceramic brake pads wherever possible from a quality manufacturer. They produce less brake dust, seem to last longer, and are very quiet. I put ceramics on all my cars. I also like Zimmerman rotors. They're actually more expensive than the OE/OEM rotors, but I like the quality and think they're worth the price.
Get OEM pads and zimmerman brake rotors, best bang for the buck
Zimmerman for rotors, those are OE and akebono or textar for pads, I would go with an original sensor though since some of the aftermarket ones have had issues for longevity. Also buy them from FCPeuro
I'm running DBA T3 Rotors with Powerstop Z26 Street Warrior Pads. I love the DBA rotors and had them on my previous Genesis Coupe. The Rotors aren't cheap with but worth it IMO.
Got DBA T3 4000 rotors on sale from tire rack a couple weeks ago for cheaper than the T2s. Hawk HP 5.0 pads and I'm very happy with the results.
I went with DBA street series with hawk pads. No complaints after 2 yrs of daily. Street Series feels more OEM+.
