Question Balo, Brembo, ATE best OEM discs?

How do?

My brakes are throbbing, and the time has come, even though the pads still have life and the rotors are not at the minimum, yet. What I have are Balo rotors and PBR MetalMaster pads, which were fine for 3 (or 4?) years until the rains last October must have rusted the discs unevenly as my car sat idle, outdoors for seven weeks! It's getting worse, rather than going away, so....

Yeah, I know: MetalMasters are an adventure (possibly fatal) in the rain, but they stop well, quietly, and without noise in almost every condition, and are very easy on rotors. I am thinking of going with them again, or getting EBC RedStuff, which are supposed to be better for non-vented rotors than GreenStuff. I ain't cleaning my wheels every four days with OEM pads!

Anyway, does anyone have a preference among Balo, ATE, and Brembo for the standard, non-vented rotors? It probably doesn't matter, huh? Durability is my main criterion.

What about cryo-tempered rotors? Does four-times the cost of non-tempered rotors make any sense? Seems ridiculous to me!

Thanks for the advice, boys and girls.

From what I understand, Balo are balanced. I'd go with them.

From all of the research I've done, I hear nothing but great things about BALO.
