I am going to order new parts to replace front and rear pads and rotors. After years of using Volvo parts, this time I am considering getting Pilenga rotors & PBR Metal Master pads. I am looking to cut down on the brake dust that I cannot keep clean and save some real money. I am not one to buy "economy" parts, but sometimes the aftermarket can build some quality items. I get 50K out of a set of front pads and rotors, so I don't consider myself hard on brakes. Anyway, can anyone comment on these items? I have reviewed the FAQ and bb search of "Pilenga" comes up with nothing. Thanks in advance.

    I have been using PBR Deluxe Organic which are not available anymore. IMO, they are low dust. I got a set of PBR metal pads. I cannot comment on these until they get on a car New rotors were Zimmerman which is a good quality.

    I only know about the PBRs and they are great.

    For rotors I would go with ATE or good aftermarket. As long as it isn't chinese you should be ok. Check the manu. first. Even some european stuff is becoming crap.
