Centric Premium. They're built to spec.; They stop the car.

I'm using Brembo OEM style rotors( $58 each fronts, $50 each rears) from Tire Rack and have been happy. Also use Brembo Ceramic brake pads ( around $140 for all) which have much less brake dust than OEM or even EBC Greens.

Zimmerman

I've put Zimmerman coated rotors on my R53 and been very happy. Reasonable price, the coating reduces rust on the non-braking surfaces, and they stop well and smoothly.

+1 on Centric Premium. Good quality and price for a daily driver. Their ceramic pads are good too 👍🏼

We have our WMW rotors which are high carbon steel and coated to make them reliable and not rust. We use them on every brake job we do in our shop. We also make them cost effective.
