OEM tend to be the best quality but the 100% dealer mark up to retail tends to make people gravitate to Brembo Blanks.

All about quality and chemical composition [metallic additive cost] of gray cast iron and the internal cooling and support vane structure----- things not analysable without xray and chemical testing.

Based on some experience you might use oem fronts and aftermarket rear rotors.

For the average driver oem pads are always the best [the only compound specifically tested for and on the exact vehicle], unless you need something out of the ordinary --- like track use where cold winter braking is not important.

Aftermarkets almost never meet ther BROAD range of oem requirements!
