I bought OEM rotors and pads from AutohausAZ online and I believe they were Zimmermann rotors and Brembo pads. You can't go wrong with brand as long as you get OEM.

Stock pads for the Q7 are made by Pagid. That being said, get the pagids.

The best rotors for the Q7 are the OEM's or Zimmermans of which you'll have a hard time trying to tell the difference between the two when viewing them.

Zimmerman's and Pagid's for a great system that equals OEM in every way shape and form. Great cold stopping power, and no squeaking. Remember to get new sensors as they are only $6 each and you might end up breaking one or two when you go to remove them.
