Question Rotor and Pads Recommendations

Going to change mine,looking for recommendations for a 97 corolla daily driver.I usually go with whatever the mechanic picks but I'll be changing them myself.I can order online or pick up at a shop.So looking for brands that have been good to you.Not going for crazy performance so probably not slotted or drilled,most likely economical but not cheap with good results. I'd like to hear your opinions.Thanks.

Centric or Brembo rotors and Wagner ceramic pads. good stopping, quiet, low dust, and they last well.

DONT get drilled rotors. They tend to crack around the holes.

Or anything that says made in china or india on the box.

for street use, I went with brembo blanks with Hawk HPS pads. A little brake dust but omg the car stops on a dime. Got them from tirerack.com
