My solution is to always use top of the line brake pads like PFC 11s or raybestos st43 and up.
The other thing I ended up doing is once I really started being able to push the car hard, I installed Porsche 911 993 air deflectors on the lower control arms and that increased airflow was just enough to let me get away with keeping the small brakes. This past weekend I was at VIR and I was getting up to 130 on the straights, even bumping up against the rev limiter in fifth before braking for roller coaster, and the brakes held up fine. That and $30 RockAuto centric rotors.
Pros: held up fine, increased airflow
Vehicle:
Toyota
Yup. Many times. I use centric/raybestos on my race miata and on my dailies. I have been using the powerstop race pads too.
Vehicle:
Mazda
Rock auto it legit. The power stop bundle is nice. For my accord, I usually go with centric rotors and akebono brake pads.
Pros: nice power stop bundle
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Just got oem centric with ceramic pads for my 14 GS350.
Vehicle:
Lexus
Rock autos fine enough for brakes, personally I use the centric coated blanks, I run the hawk 5.0 pads, but for a DD I'd recomend factory pads or ceramic.
Pros: good for brakes
Vehicle:
Honda S2000
I previously ran project mu hc+ and Winmax W3 pads separately on the street for daily duty before. All of the brakes i mentioned were on blank rotors with the best rotors, in terms of price and corrosion resistance being the premium centric blank rotors.
Pros: good price, corrosion resistance
Track pads and the basic Centric rotors. Get the Boomba air deflectors that mount on the control arms and remove your dust shields.
I ran G-LOC pads with Castrol SRF with this setup and had my rotors glowing with minimal fade at Gingerman.
Pros: minimal fade
Cons: rotors glowing
I had the Centric rotors for both the front and rears. I'm replacing the rears Cemtrics next week which have 48k km on them with Raybestos Element 3s because they are highly recommended here and I wanted to try something different. I have a feeling my rear centric rotors have been ruined by the akebono pads which I think have gone down to the metal and are creating a groove in the rotor. Sad that this is all happening at only 48k km.
Cons: ruined by pads, groove in rotor
Mileage: 48000 km
If you're looking for a solid set at a budget price, I've always had solid results from Centric and Power Stop brands on Rockauto. They're not high end by any means but they're cheaper than going OEM and they've always lasted at least 40,000+ miles. Also, if you go to Rockauto, do not be tempted by their economy category. The offerings in that section are very inexpensive but you absolutely get what you pay for. I went that route once out curiosity and the pads and rotors from the economy section were awful. Squealed and squeaked from day one and wore down insanely fast. Tried sound dampening sprays and re greasing. Never took the noise away.
Pros: long lasting, budget friendly
Cons: economy parts awful, noisy
Mileage: 40000 km
