Advice on Brakes
I need to change the brakes all for corners. Just too much noise and driving me nuts, got life left in them but not worth it. Is Meyle a good brand?

Never heard of Meyle, but just went with Zimmerman rotors and Akebono pass up front from FCPEuro. Great so far, and lifetime warranty is where it’s at.

The Meyle rotors are Chinese, and they are crap, inferior iron, which turns to Cementite, far too easily:
Brembo, Textar, Bosch, StopTech, Meyle, Akebono are all made in china.
I'd stick with the German made Zimmermann rotors.

Now I did replace the old glazed Zimmermans that came on the car. That someone put new pads on (old rotors new pad trick). The pedal feel was vague, no confidence mashing down hard. They could have been lathed and mic'd but I chose to dump'em. Old fine German iron for some new pig iron
