Look for rotors made from high-carbon iron. High carbon rotors are going to handle heat and resist cracking/warping better than normal grey-iron rotors. They don't have to be extremely expensive either.
Raysbestos Street Performance rotors are high carbon and probably available on Rockauto.
Pros: handle heat, resist cracking
Cons: normal grey-iron rotors
I swapped out some very sad stock rotors for slotted ones and I DID notice a difference but only because I'd done the pads as well and well.... fresh brakes!
Pros: noticed a difference
Vehicle:
Toyota
It's been a long time coming, but I've finally been driving the Z, and now I just need to get it on the track! Big Wilwood rotors and forged calipers
Pros: Wilwood rotors, forged calipers
Vehicle:
Nissan
All brake discs are now StopTech Black series one-piece, no detriment to performance vs the ATE stock two-piece, the upside is no going orange on the bells or edges like the stock discs do, pads are still PFC Z-Rated and fluid is ATE Type200, no obvious fade for fast road use.
Pros: no obvious fade
Cons: no detriment to performance
Vehicle:
BMW
Personally, I like to use ceramic brake pads wherever possible from a quality manufacturer. They produce less brake dust, seem to last longer, and are very quiet. I put ceramics on all my cars. I also like Zimmerman rotors. They're actually more expensive than the OE/OEM rotors, but I like the quality and think they're worth the price.
Pros: less brake dust, last longer
Cons: more expensive
honda or toyota. civic, accord, camry, corolla, avalon.
parts and service are cheap. not much goes wrong. i had a 08 civic lx from 50k miles to 150k miles. only thing i had done were brake discs and ac replacement.
Pros: parts and service cheap
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 150000 km
I just changed out a set of AP rotors that had more significant cracks than that on the outside of the rotor and only caught them because I was changing pads, I wasn't getting vibration under braking.
Pros: no vibration under braking
Cons: significant cracks on rotor
eu am avut probleme cu brembo pe un vectra c si-au facut fata si nu mai franau, efectiv erau discurile oglinda
Cons: uzura rapida, franare ineficienta, discuri oglinda
Vehicle:
Opel Vectra C
OEM rotors were badly warped within the first year and Honda refused to warranty because they were “still in spec”. Of all OEM Honda parts, I think their brake rotors are one of the worst quality I have experienced.
Cons: badly warped, worst quality
Vehicle:
Honda Odyssey
