    i'm using the zimmerman front and rear rotors from there and they are fairly nice. they make some noise due to the holes in the rotors but other than that, they are nice. they gave me pbr deluxe pads with my rotors from there because they didn't have any mintex pads on hand. hope this helps.

      Thanks for the info.

      I am using PBR metal master pads on front now with brembo solid rotors and I do not like the shudder they cause under harder braking. I think the PBR pads are to hard.

      I wonder what the difference is with the Mintex pads if they are softer or harder material than the PBR's?

      anyway thanks for the help.
