I've run Zimmerman rotors with EBC red stuff ceramic pads. No complaints.
I have Zimmerman rotors with Textar pads on my 19 alltrack. I’m actually looking at these for my Tiguan too!
I've used the power stop and semi-coat rotors for many years on my truck and suv. Definitely notice a difference with the coating on the rotors being somewhere that the roads get salted in the winter. The pads have a good lifetime on them and have never had any issues.
Zimmerman are pretty decent got a pair on mine
I do oem for nearly everything. Rotors are not one of them. PowerStop Evolution rotors are OE weight and quality with a zinc coating for corrosion at a decent price. I think I'm on my 4th set over a decade and two cars.
Short answer, oem rotors are not worth it. Brake pads and rotors are one of the areas the aftermarket is great at. I have been happy with Power Stop geomet fully coated rotors. They cost basically the same or a dollar or two more vs the semi coated on rockauto.
Not including labor, I spent like $400 for PowerStop Drilled and Slotted Rotors + Brake Pads for all 4 wheels.
Good but get the coated rotors if you live somewhere with winters. They last me much longer than the uncoated ones.
I have etc red and they work, but I used Zimmerman rotors and never again. Don't go cheap
I like powerstop they are Callahan breaks oe Nissin. the slotted and drilled was not good. Wore out super easy and squeaked all the time rusty.
