brembo zimmerman porterfield axxis ????
I posted this on the other site, but since it's not getting much action I figured I'd try over here. I know a lot of you check both, so ignore it if you want. Anyway, here is the post.....
Alright, I feel like a newbie with this question, but I'm going to get some new brakes and rotors. I've pretty much narrowed it down to a combination of a few different things. I figure for the rotors I'm going for either brembo cross drilled (higher end), maybe irotor or most likely cross drilled Zimmerman rotors. I mean I can get the Zimmerman front and back pairs for much less than the Brembo front rotors. Same goes for pads. I want the Porterfields but again, I can buy 2 sets of Axxis Deluxe pads and it will still cost less than one set of Porterfields. I don't want to skimp and I feel like the Zimmerman's with Axxis Deluxe pads would be a nice combo. Nice cross drilled rotors with low dust, low squeal pads that would cost around $250 for all four corners. That said, is there any reason I should go with a different combination? If not, anyone mind helping find a better price than Zimmerman front rotors for $89.95 and rears for $69.95 and Axxis Deluxe pads front for $59 and rears for $36? Oh, also I figure I might as well some new braided brake lines on. Any preference from anyone?
Thanks for any input or help guys.

I am in need of brake service. Where did you get your price quotes from? I am in Illinois also.
I had Jetta prior to my mercedes and I used zimmerman rotors with mintex pads. I loved the combination.
