Default brakes and rotors

ready for new rotors and Pads, Always was sold EBC HH pads by my Indy , great stopping power would squeal at times, never tried anything else.
looking at Lyddall LRB ceramic pads, looks like little better stopping power then OEM, no noise or dusting, what does everyone else use?
thinking of OEM Rotors, any thought on rotors?

I've never had any issues with stock rotors, sometimes I have a little pulsing in one of the brakes, a quick buff with a Roloc wheel (Scotchbrite) fixes it.
EBC Double sintered pads are great.

EBC Pads with stock rotors have also been my “go-to” and I’ve got no complaints. Mind you, I’m old and drive that way 😎

I used Lyndall pads and enjoyed them. They stopped great and lasted a long time. But on the advice of my indy I went back to regular pads. He told me breaks wear. If the pads aren't wearing then the rotor is. Changing pads a little more often is a lot easier and cheaper than changing rotors. If you changed both the pads and rotors to Lyndall though, I bet you would have a good match.
