It's that time to change the brakes...

I'm interested in changing the system (brake and pads only) on the front wheels (due to the excessive MB brake dust) and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or recommendations?

I was looking at slotted rotors made by power slot, brembo, and others for the 17" AMG rims.

Thanks for your recommendations!

What type of vehicle do you have? For rotors, there are KVR, StopTech and PowerSlot available.
For daily commute, OEM or Hawk pads are sufficient.

StopTech has rear rotors available.
KVR and PowerSlot have both front and rear rotors available.
Out of the 3, KVR is the highest grade.

I fitted Brembo rotors on the front.
I used Porterfield low dust pads.
Good combination

Zimmermann cross-drilled rotors and Porterfield pads all around. The Porterfields throw off very little dust.
