I think there are aftermarket rotors that are one piece. Maybe based off of a 520d part or another non-us model.
What would you use? Brake pad advice

Possibly. They are far cheaper too.
And that started with the E36 M3…circa 1993/1994.
Except for the North American models, which got one-piece rotors to go along with the S50US as part of the cost cap.

I know nothing about Chrysler/Jeep applications, but for late model Corvettes, many of us like
PowerStop Z26 ceramic pads for good street performance and low dusting.

I assume you're referring to Permatex 24125?
yes, that's it, thanks for looking that up. I use it for the "ears" of the pads into the hardware and in between the shim and the back of the pad..
On this vehicle I would just use OE Brembo.

I think they are carbon metallic. If you leave the vehicle in the wet for a few days, the pads rust to the rotors.

It's a 2020 Grand Cherokee SRT.
Hard to tell from photo how bad the rotors are really scored but looks like they need addressing. OEM rotor material is usually very good so I like to have my rotors resurfaced if they have not gone too far. Saves some dollars and will usually get you through to the next brake pad change and beyond. Found it well worth exploring.
If you are doing a lot of driving, (or in my case tracking) I have installed cryo-treated rotors. Did not find this a credible approach until researched. Found I get three/four times the life with cryo-treated rotors. The benefits are real! Was able to purchase from Tirerack but there are other several sources too.

pad slap in the year 2023 = shameful. you must machine the rotors on an on-car lathe no matter what

I just did a quick search and it doesn't look like there's a lot of pads available for your vehicle unfortunately. Porterfield only has their R4S compound which is a street/AutoX compound. Hawk looks like really the only aftermarket "performance" pad manufacture available (and calling it performance is already a stretch), you can try out the Hawk DTC-60; it'll squeal like crazy though. Probably be best to just grab the factory ones if you're keeping the rotors or you'll have to replace the rings or find a shop that cuts 2-piece floating rotors.
FWIW; as far as I know the only true Brembo pads are their Motorsport pads. The rest are other manufactures with the brembo label.

I don't know, I haven't had them out, but that's a good question.
The Brembo replacement part # is P37018N using this:
Catalog of brake pads and brake rotors Jeep Grand Cherokee 2020
Browse replacement parts in the Brembo catalog for your Jeep Grand Cherokee 2020: find rotors and pads for your vehicle.
www.bremboparts.com
and apparently they are a LOT less expensive than OE MOPAR
They also show rotors, but not the 2-piece ones.
These pads are only $115 on Rock Auto...

Machining the rotors is still a heck of a lot cheaper than $2K for new ones, lol.

I've spent a lot of time in the UK/Europe and between actual car people here we say..
Friends don't let friends run EBC..
'extremely bad compounds'
they also spam the hell out of our forums via verticalscope but that's another story.
US options like stoptech and hawk and even the wilwood compounds are much nicer, as well as brembo and ATE... still within budget, I hope.
