the best of all world are the carbon ceramic disc and they are drilled. They wear longer and give way more stopping. Don't know if they are available for heavy vehicles except airplanes.
Would probably cost a grand each. I think they want 5 thousand to change over our AMG.
By brand name disc that are properly heat treated and if grooved or drilled great. Don't buy the sold cheap for cosmetic effect ones.
