I think it's absolutely worth it if you have quality rotors. Had a set of drilled EBC rotors a while back, and had them turned 3 times before they were below spec. Think it was under $20 per rotor. Those things never warped.
I went with Zimmerman front and rear about 1.5 years ago. No problems.
I went with the FCP euro replacement kit, the zimmerman rotors have been fine (another 35k on them), the texar pads work fine, but dust more than OEM
My previous Maxima warped rotors like crazy until I put some of the EBC usr slotted on it. They are excellent rotors.
Stock OEM rotors (Zimmerman) are also fine. I track my car and run stock rotors. They work great.
I use Zimmerman rotors and Hawk HPS pads on my Audis. Very happy with the combination.
When I got my car, it would roll on hills with the parking brake pulled all the way up. After the adjustment procedure and replacing the rotors, it works properly.
I went with Zimmerman rotors and the TRW nano-compound pads as I've read they bite like metallic with maybe 2/3 as much dust.
I have etc red and they work, but I used Zimmerman rotors and never again. Don't go cheap
hard pass on the EBC products. Had 2x experiences with terrible warped rotors (drilled + slotted). Suggest their brake pads in ballpark with rotors. highly recommend buying from vendor where everything is reliable, predictable, and company stands behind product. I've had great experience with Powerstop but others may have alternative vendors. EBC is a flaming turd for me... from scar tissue.
