Default Brake advice needed>>>

The time has come to replace the rotors and pads in the front and rear. I was thinking of Zimmerman rotors, but I'm undecided as to what pads to use. Anyoine have any advice or opinions one way or the other? Anyone know who sells Zimmerman products?

Thanks for your input,
Geoff

I did those minus the drilling from ECS as well. The fronts I got were actually Brembo.

Default I put on the PBR ultimate ceramic pads a couple weeks ago. I do have some low-speed squeak, but the

stopping power is very good, and brake dust seems very low. Got them at ECS.<ul><li><a href="http://public.fotki.com/mcphill/audi_stuff/pbr_ultimate_cerami/">Fotki: PBR Install</a></li></ul>

OEM Brembo rotors and PBR MetalMaster for me. No squeaks. Little dust.
