Which rotors and pads should get?

[BobbySpeed]

My warning light will be coming on soon because My front brakes will need to be changed.

OEM, Zimmerman, EBC, or a different brand for rotors? Drilled, slotted?

OEM, Pagid, Hawk HPS, Hawk ceramic, or different brand pads?

Naturally I would like less dust, but most importantly I want better braking.

What have you tried and liked and feel comfortable recommending?

stick with blanks....drilling and slotting without a properly cast rotor is dumb.....look at all the cracked rotor pics from track cars....i run blanks even on my track cars

pads unfortunately the dustier the more bite they are going to have.....i have stoptech and they dust less but also have less cold bite.....they perform roughly the same at temperature

Lots of opinions on brakes.

Here are a few threads/sites!

Many recommend OEM as Porsche has gotten the brakes right!

OEM.

I had Ate OEM, and currently on Zimmermann. Both performs nicely. In my opinion Ate wears quicker. There is no meaning going slotted or drilled since I doubt you track the Cayenne. Use OEM brake pads or Pagid, others will eat rotor faster.

I think I bought the Hawk HPS:

Less dust than O.E. with same stopping power that I can tell. Maybe stops a little quicker.

The HPS pads get my vote. Low dust and superb stopping power.
