Which rotors, Zimmermann or Genuine ?
I am preparing to replace all 4 rotors and brake pads. After researching, Zimmermann rotors are great and few $ cheaper. Is there any good reason to go with Zimmermann rotors?
Also, I like to use Akebono Euro Premium pads this time. I found Akebono pads for front but couldn't find for rear. Do they make pads for rear brake?

I have the same question about the brake pads. Im planning on going with the Zimmerman rotors but can't seem to find the front and rear akebono euro pads for my 2002 s430. If anyone has ordered a set recently I would appreciate it if you could post part numbers and where you got them from.
