My nickel's worth........

Rotors  ATE
Pads  Mintex

Above are what I have been using on my 84 Westy with no issues for the past
7 years.

Zimmerman is a very good quality brand when it comes to rotors and have used
these on a few other VWs I've owned (currently on my Ghia & 411).  For pads
- ATE, Jurid, Pagid, PBR (both Deluxe and Metal-Master) are all brands I've
used on a variety of disc brake VWs (and a few Japanese vehicles I've
owned) over the years, all with excellent results.  Some people say that
Metal Masters tend to chew up rotors, but I haven't had that experience, I
guess because I use good quality, not CHEEP rotors.

YMMV
