I installed Zimmerman c-d rotors with PBR Deluxe pads. Right from the start, I experienced groaning noises when braking, subsequent brake fade after hard-braking, and the holes in the rotors ate up the pads in less than 10K miles! I also had a ton of dust all over the rims that basically should not have been there since PBR Deluxe emit no dust.
I ripped them off and currently have Brembo flat-faced rotors with Axxis' version of PBR MetalMasters. What a complete difference. This combination causes neck-snapping, forehead-hitting-the-windshield stopping force. Extremely pleased.
I am now considering ceramic pads since the MM's build-up too much dust and cause a lot of squealing, even though I've used anti-squeal on the back of the pads 3 times now.
