I rebuilt the RS3 calipers in Lapiz Blue and ended up using TT-RS Girodisc rotors due to the Golf R hub being a slightly different offset. Great pedal feel!
Pros: Great pedal feel
Vehicle:

I went with the paragon 2 piece rotors and pads because they offered a rear rotor upgrade as well. I want to do a few track days as well so I figured I’d go for maximum upgrade before changing calipers.
Pros: good upgrade, rear rotor upgrade
I have r1 concepts on right now. They haven't treated me bad at all.
Pros: haven't treated me bad

I did get an extended warranty on the mach e for $1,700 to try and hedge bets, no issues yet that weren't covered by Ford (they replaced rotors and the glass roof under TSBs).

On my Honda CRV I've found the best value for money for driving on Michigan salted roads are the Deteoit Axle OEM coated rotor & pad re0lacement kit, comes with inserts, grease, top up brake fluid, brake cleaner, eventually the electroplated coating on the braking surface wears off from braking & you get rust spots if they sit outside covered in the salt slush, but the hub mating surfaces & venting fins been covered in 2 Michigan winters of snow & salt & still not a spot of rust on the rotor.
Pros: good value, rust resistant
Cons: coating wears off

Get ebc rotors made in the uk, bought brembo rotors recently and they’re made in China
Cons: made in China
I bought new set of rotors DBA 5000 T3, (floating rotors) and paired them with ebc rp1 pads. I have rbf600 fluid (around 1,5y old) and braided brake lines. Car is 370z.
Did the bedding in procedure, all good. Rotors have 300km, all works perfectly.
Today i went to a track day and did several very powerful brakings, but also did a cool down lap. And on that first stint, my pedal got soft. Ok, fluid will change.... But stopping in the paddock, the brakes were smoking a bit. I immediately rushed out and did a few km outside, cca 80-90kmh to cool the brakes down. Worked well, they were cool. But then i checked paint markings, all changed colors, indicating rotors exceeded 630°C.
And that was one short stint. So later when i drove, i was very gentle, all good...but i feel slight judder around 120kmh, and when i brake, the steering wheel shakes a bit.
Did i really manage to ruin completely new rotors in ONE stint?
Pros: works perfectly initially
Cons: pedal got soft, brakes smoking

Nissan
Mileage: 300 km
