I think you've answered your own question here.. -the oem rotors have not let me down, no vibration, no warpage after 1.5 years of hard driving they lasted me +50,000km
-the pads let me down a couple times, faded on me before and the dust is ridiculous. why not just look for other brands of 'higher performance' pads then?

anyone have tech info on run-outs, metallurgy? What metallurgic info are you looking for? how is the data going to make a difference to your choice? if there were major differences between brands you would see that in their prices-and you have already pointed out that it scares you.
