I recently replaced all 4 corners with PBR deluxe and Zimmerman rotors (z coat blank rotors) and to be honest I was a little worried because I saw some reviews that mentioned braking performance was much worse compared to OEM. Especially when it's raining or cold.
I do find that the initial bite is not as good as OEM. And it takes a little more pedal pressure to get the same braking as OEM but overall I am pleased. I have also driven in the rain and cold and do not notice a big difference. Can't wait till spring to see how much the dusting has reduced.

Quick advice: don't bed the brakes as others say. Just drive normally and it will eventually get better and better.

Why shouldn't I bed them?

This is always so controversial. I always do a "lame" bedding procedure, where I follow normal bedding rules but from lower speeds.

Don't you love it when you get that kind of advice without any explanation!
